Student Artwork Labels

Artwork credits that are ready for the wall

1. Add each artwork’s title and the artist’s display name. For a batch, map columns in your CSV and review the import before applying it.
2. Choose a 6 × 4-inch museum label, a 3.5 × 2-inch compact label, or a full-page artist statement. Class, medium, and year stay hidden unless you choose to include them.
3. Check the physical size and page count, then download the full PDF or 300 dpi PNG pages. Cut labels from plain paper at Actual size.

Import artwork labels and artist statements from a file

Prepare a whole art display in a spreadsheet. Download the artwork CSV template, with 12 fictional artworks and short sample statements. Each row represents one artwork, not one student. A student with two artworks should have two separate rows.

Fill out these artwork columns

• title — required: the artwork’s title.
• displayName — required: the artist’s name as you want it printed.
• className — optional: the class or grade.
• medium — optional: the materials, such as Watercolor or Paper collage.
• year — optional: the year shown on the label.
• statement — optional: the artist’s own description or reflection. Put the complete statement in one spreadsheet cell, including any paragraph breaks. Do not put continuation text on a separate row.

Import, review, and choose labels or full pages

1. Open the template in Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet editor. Keep the column headings and replace the fictional titles, artist names, and statements. Remove unused sample rows.
2. Save or download as CSV UTF-8 (comma-delimited), ending in .csv. The spreadsheet will handle commas, quotation marks, and line breaks inside cells. Excel workbooks (.xlsx), Word documents, PDFs, and photos cannot be imported directly.
3. Choose Import CSV in the content editor. In Review before replacing, match Artwork title and Artist name to the required columns. Match any optional columns you want, or choose Do not use. Review the total and the first five title–artist pairs.
4. Choose Apply previewed import to replace the current artworks; this is not an append operation. Cancel leaves your work unchanged.
5. For short credits, choose a museum or compact label. To print class, materials, and year, turn on Include class, medium, and year. For longer writing, choose Full-page artist statements: select an artwork in the writing pane, edit its text, and check its automatically continued pages.
6. Check the preview before printing or downloading. Move one title to move all titles, or one artist name to move all artist names. Fonts, sizes, and colors apply to matching text sections; each artwork keeps its own words.

If the file or text does not fit

Use up to 100 artworks and a file no larger than 10 MB. Titles, artist names, and other short fields support up to 240 characters each; each statement supports up to 12,000 characters. Those are import limits, not a promise that the writing fits a small label. If a label cannot hold it, shorten the writing or switch to the full-page statement workflow; text is not silently cut off. Correct missing titles, missing artist names, or reported CSV line errors in the spreadsheet, then export and choose the file again.

CSV keeps the artwork text, not its layout. Use Export project to keep the words, selected format, typography, positions, and paper settings together. Reopen a compatible backup through Import project JSON in this artwork tool, not in the name tag or group tool. Files are read locally without an upload. Imports are not saved automatically; choose Save on this device for a browser copy and keep exported backups private.
