Back to School Art: Teaching Posters Beyond the Classroom

Everyone says that summer flies by too quickly but you know who really takes a hit? Teachers. By the beginning of August, it’s time for teachers to burst back into their classrooms. The prep work for the beginning of the school year looms as big of a job as teaching, itself. Teachers fill their classrooms with supplies, displays, and teaching posters that will guarantee a successful year.

But framed posters make great wall decor beyond the classroom, too! Locker rooms, playrooms, and even bedrooms benefit from a well-placed motivational quote as well. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite picks for teaching posters, wherever they may land!

Unique Art Your Guests Will Remember

At a point in our not-to-distant past, the term ‘unique art’ stood as a redundancy. What was art, if not a one-of-a-kind creation? From paintings to sculpture to photography, artists created unique pieces, viewed and bought by others. But today, in a world of prints, copies, and copycats, it’s harder to find art that is truly unique. Now, don’t get us wrong, re-printing provides an amazing opportunity for the famous works of historical artists to be viewed in homes around the world. But when you’re looking for something new, a piece your guests have never seen before, it makes your job a little harder.

Unique art prints come from a variety of places. You may be looking for a print by a mostly-unknown artist, or a lesser-known work of an artist you have admired your whole life. We picked out our favorite rare, strange, and unknown pieces to showcase to you in this post… and we encourage you to dig for others we didn’t even think of!
