Are You Done?
So you think you might be done. Excellent. this is a good time to review your work. Look for those last few finishing touches that can add to your piece. Ask your peers what they think. they might give you some helpful tips. ask your teacher too. But most importantly, its up to you. It's great to seek advice but in the end, you are the artist. you make the final decision.
OK, you did all that and now it's really done! Here are two more things you'll want to do before starting your next piece.

Considers Display Options.
Works of art were created to be displayed. Sure, we make art for ourselves but we should also make art for the world. They need to see your art just as much as you need to make art. so let's think about display options.
First, does your art need a frame or a piece of mat board? Often, putting a work of art on a clean, sturdy backboard can be both aesthetically pleasing as well as provide the support it might need for hanging.
Speaking of hanging, how will your art be attached to the display board or display cabinet? Will it sit on the shelf? Will it be staple? does it need a wire or string on the back? You need to decide all these things before your work can be displayed.
