I have been gallery wall crushing for years now, but recently it has reached new heights, as I’ve finally gotten artwork up on the walls of my home office. As I’ve been taking in some of the powerful, inspiring quotes that surround me, I got to thinking how I wish that these lessons had been instilled in me at a young age.
Although I’m not a teacher, the designer in me started imagining what these inspirational quotes would look like on the walls of a classroom, and the impact they could make. The creativity started flowing, and next thing I knew, I was mocking up themed gallery walls!
Below are the five classroom gallery wall ideas that could be displayed seasonally or kept up year-round. Since printable artwork is easy and inexpensive, they would even make for a fantastic bulletin board display!
All of the art displayed is available in our Enchanting Mondays Library of over 200+ printables, with designs added monthly. Be sure to grab your free art printable at the bottom of the post, so you can get started on your own classroom gallery wall!

Classroom Gallery Wall Idea 3: Quotes about Adventure and Curiosity
One of the messages I wish I would have understood as a kid! I was totally the little girl who just wanted to stay inside and watch tv instead of taking in the big, beautiful world that we live in. These messages will keep your students reminded of the importance of exploring uncharted territories and taking in new experiences.

There is no greater lesson to be learned than that of compassion and no better time to learn it than from a young age. If you’ve been given the opportunity to make an impact on the lives of a little one, this is the most powerful thing you can instill. Encourage and inspire all who pass through your classroom or office with these powerful words and messages.
It always brings a smile to my face when readers who are educators, counselors, and mentors tell me that they use my motivational art printables to inspire their students and patients.
