💭Description: Having a section in the "art room" that spotlights weekly artists. This would show off the students' skills, creativity and talents to their peers and maybe inspire others to be creative as well. Since it will be the beginning of the year, there will not be any work to showcase right away, therefore, teachers could showcase the previous year's artwork/art shows for the BOY. This could go for all of the classes, not just art, they could show case previous years projects as well.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.XhdPZlDI
🎯Why it's helpful:  The students work on display will show incoming and new art students what art projects they can look forward to in art class and maybe even inspire some of them to take an art class.
