Choose a section in your classroom devoted to displaying students' artwork. Make sure the walls and floor are clean and neutral colored, if possible. Inform your students that this is their own art gallery. Take nominations for the gallery name, and have students vote on the final name. Students select certain works to matte, frame and mount in the gallery. Display art by theme, if desired. Each student places a title and description next to her piece. Have an art opening for the first exhibition of works. Keep the pieces rotating every few weeks or so.
Kindergartners tend to produce art at a fast pace. Keep a fresh display of art in rotation with a system that simplifies display and take-down. String clothesline along the wall, nailing either end securely into the wall. Each student has a clothespin with his name on it. He chooses which piece he'd like to display each week. Kids take their own pieces down at the end of the week and bring them home. You can also have students mount their pieces on a magnet board, or hang a clipboard on the wall for each student.
Perhaps you need a creative fundraiser or holiday gift for the parents. Incorporate your students' art by making a deck of artist trading cards. Scan a work from each student and shrink it to 3 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide, about the size of a trading card. Print the art on card stock, or decoupage regular paper to construction paper scraps. Remember to include the artist's information and the piece title. Laminate the cards for durability. Have each student pass out a card to each student, or collect them for decks to use for fund raising or give to parents. If you're short on funds for printing, have students create miniature pieces directly on the cards.
You almost certainly will complete art projects in your class that can't be displayed on paper. Sculptures and craft pieces may not be around long, but it's important for a student to be able to see her previous work so she can share it with her family and build on her skills. Have students put together a portfolio for their work. Take pictures of each piece individually, in good lighting. Print the pictures and have students place them in the ring binder. As with the gallery display, place a title card next to the printout.
