I love the idea of using even the crappiest paintings for something, Michelle! Nice and green too. (As in environmentally, I mean.) Thanks for all the great comments.

Funny and informative.<br><br>We do just what you suggest: take a digital photo. But we only do that for the ones we most like. An added bonus is that these can then be added to our photo album, so when we look back in ten years, we'll see it again. And the kids will have a good copy, too. In ten years, the original will be faded and cracking; the photo, bright as the day it was taken. Great article! Funny and informative.

It prevents perfectionism and keeps them from getting into a creative rut. Sure, it's good to keep the stuff that really turned out (or that the artist is especially attached to) but about 90% of creative endeavors are practice or "flops"....

I kept the best looking paintings and used the rest to wrap little presents to give to other people for Christmas or folded them up and gave them to the grandparents with a note inside and used it as a large Christmas card.

I have no doubt that they will ever ask for any of it, but every year, when I take down the Christmas decorations, and when they go back at New Year, I get to rifle through the pile and reminisce. Sad? - probably! My loft is insulated with every peice of paper my kids ever touched with a crayon – and now they are 20 and 17, that is a whole lot!

Andy and I have been having this 'discussion' over the last couple of days as part of our January clear out. I'm all for chucking pretty much everything out (Johnny is not an artistic soul), Andy wants to keep every scrap of rubbish Johnny has ever scribbled on. It's interesting to note that Pearl's husband struggles with it too..... Thanks for posting this.
