The Homework Gallery - The Tulip Class

Class Teachers: Walden Smith & Claudine Chen

Email: support@storybee.space

We’re excited to share how we celebrate creativity in our art course. All homework will be displayed within 48 hours, transforming our online space into a vibrant gallery of student artwork. When multiple submissions are received for one assignment, the teacher will highlight one piece and share personalized feedback. We encourage everyone to view and comment on each other’s work—there’s so much to learn and be inspired by within our community.

We understand that life can be busy and unpredictable, so “free passes” are available if you ever need extra time. If homework isn’t submitted on time, it will simply appear as a blank space with your name, and you’ll be given more time—no pressure or stress.

Our art class is about growth, fun, and building confidence, not competition. Homework is a tool for learning and reflection, and our gallery will also help you see your progress over time. This online gallery will also serve as your personal record of growth. As the weeks go by, you’ll be able to look back and see your journey, noticing how your skills, creativity, and confidence have blossomed from the very first assignment to the last. We hope this will not only motivate you, but also fill you with pride for all that you have achieved.
