post-it notes are so much a part of my daily life, i cannot imagine not having them there. my students have their own packs of post-its to track comprehension strategies as they read novels. i use them to track my needs, my wants, my wishes, my must-do’s, my cannot forgets, i even have master post-it notes to organize my post-it notes!
the history of the post-it note is an oft retold story. from the accidental discovery of an adhesive that had enough stickum to stick but not enough to stick permanently, to its eventual application through a serendipitous brainwave as an adhesive strip on notes of all shapes and sizes, post it notes are a part of almost everybodies’ lives.
i guess it’s an obvious use to someone who has a creative mind and some time, but even though i’ve doodled on many many post-it notes, i hadn’t really thought about using them as art until i came across a couple of sites dedicated to the simple art of post-it illustration. the first is named sticky note theatre.
