Clipart in The Classroom: Why Teachers Should Use It

Clipart displayed on one of the bulletin boards in my hallway for this year. It only took 45 minutes to put together start to finish!

Clipart is a great timesaver for busy art teachers inundated with the daily grind of teaching. I use clip art in my own art room in many ways. And I think it has more advantages than what can be bought at any local teacher store.

What I love is the wide range of themes and styles to choose from, making it easy to find what I need from the comfort of my own home (because sometimes it’s too people-y out there, amiright? ). Every teacher can find something related to their content area to help with classroom decor.

And, clipart has definitely saved me on several occasions when I needed a last minute graphic to complete the look of a bulletin board or a slideshow presentation.

I know I can’t be the only one who appreciates having graphics at the ready. But I know many other teachers who aren’t aware how it saves time, looks great in my art room, and is versatile.

I drew this clipart but then eventually turned it into an art classroom decor pack with more components.

Clipart Saves Time and Sanity

As an art teacher, I post student work in the hallway all year. So I always need art room bulletin board ideas . I have two hallway bulletin boards to do, too. 

Additionally, I prep in-classroom boards. In both scenarios, clipart is helpful in reducing the time it takes to create something fun and exciting for kids without it costing an arm and a leg.

But it wasn’t always that easy.

When I first started teaching years ago, teachers would either make their own things or go to the teacher store and buy what they needed.

This usually consisted of many packs of die-cut letters and large, bulky poster board-sized images that we tacked or stapled to our bulletin boards. They had to be stored properly so they wouldn’t get ruined. And yes, many teachers still do things this way.

But seriously? There’s a much more efficient, economical, and less time-consuming way to make your classroom bulletin boards sparkle: clipart .

I use this craftsmanship bulletin board in my daily teaching practice.

It Looks Great on Bulletin Boards

One mandatory back to school chore is decorating bulletin boards. Ugh, you know what I mean if you’re a teacher! It’s not that we don’t like doing bulletin boards. It’s that we can think of a long list of other more salient tasks we could be accomplishing.

Multiply that by the number of classroom boards you have and it can be a lot of work for one person.

We spend hours combing our feed on Pinterest looking for ideas to get us going. And in the end, we wind up trying to re-create someone else’s idea without the same resources available to us. 

I created this craftsmanship bulletin board for my art room. It took 25 minutes to put together, from the time I created it until it was up for display.

These were made with some of my art supplies and emoji clipart I previously made. 

Can I just tell you that while I was putting it all together, so many students complimented me on how fun, cute, sparkly , and eye-catching the board is? Did I mention I installed it in 25 minutes?

It’s Versatile

Have I also mentioned that clipart can be used in many other ways? You see, that’s where the economical part comes in.

If you go to the teacher store and buy a poster of a paintbrush, you can only use it for display. Its entire existence is only about being a poster.

However, if you have a clipart version of it, not only can you make cool bulletin boards with it, but you can do a range of other very useful and creative things.

And that brings me to my list of ideas.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the potential applications for clipart. But it does represent some of the most practical uses for it that every teacher could implement. 

Top 10 Uses for Clip Art in the Classroom

• Make your own handouts, lessons, quizzes, and tests
• Design your classroom blog
• Have students use clipart in projects
• Create a fun classroom newsletter
• Make interactive lessons using your smartboard
• Put together signage specific to the content you teach
• Design schedules for your special needs students that are tailored to them
• Decorate the rules of you art room in a fun way
• Make labels for bins, cabinets, and drawers to improve classroom organization
• Compose lessons for Google Classroom

A Case for Clip Art

There really are many ways in which clipart is more useful, efficient, engaging, and quite frankly more affordable than their counterparts. And once you own some clipart, you don’t have buy it again. If it gets destroyed in that sad, sagging box of other posters that takes up too much space, you simply replace it. Just print out a new one! 

And if one of these rips? Because let’s be honest, sometimes despite our best efforts a kid tugs on it in excitement and it gets ripped. Simply print out a new one and fix it immediately. You can’t do that with with posters you purchase at a teacher store.

Furthermore, you don’t have to spend as much time locating it in your classroom. Even if you’re not efficient with your filing systems on your computer, you can easily search and locate it. On the contrary, teachers have to maintain large storage containers filled with posters , die-cut letters, borders, etc. They’re cumbersome to maintain and even more annoying to sift through.

Who has time for all of that extra work?  

Teachers are busy. We need more effective ways to streamline our teaching lives so we have time for all the grading, paperwork, and phone calls.
