    Did you have to get permission from students to use their artwork in the publication? One of my goals is to submit to a publication this year and want to learn more about logistics.

    Thanks!

    • Yes you do! I have all my students sign a generic form for publishing artwork for my blog, school websites, Artsonia, educational presentations and printed publications. I have only had a handful of families opt out. I am very “proactive” at getting them to sign (reminding them multiple times, giving them multiple forms if necessary). That way, when I go to write an article I can just pull out those forms I already have gotten signed (and they are good for the student’s entire career at our school, so I only have to have the parents sign once.) Once or twice I have written the article, then had parents sign permission slips, but then their child’s artwork wasn’t selected to be published by the editor and that was awkward and I felt bad, so I now I don’t tell the families until it is actually published.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
