ART CLASS PACT

MUTUAL FOR BEHAVIOR IN THE ART ROOM. IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR ART CLASS A SAFE AND ACCEPTING PLACE FOR ALL STUDENTS, I AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES FOR BEHAVIOR:

• WE WILL REMEMBER THAT ART IS A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE; THEREFORE, WE WILL NOT JUDGE OR RIDICULE OTHERS FOR THEIR ART, BUT MAY PROVIDE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WHEN ASKED.
• WE WILL REMEMBER THAT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM – GIVEN TO US BY MY THE TEACHER OR PEERS – IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DEVELOPMENT AS AN ARTIST.  WE WILL NOT TAKE SUCH CRITICISM AS A PERSONAL ATTACK, BUT SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE MY SKILLS.
• WE WILL REMEMBER THAT WE ARE STILL DEVELOPING OUR OWN ARTISTIC KNOWLEDGE AND STYLE, AND WILL THEREFORE TREAT OURSELVES WITH KINDNESS AS WE LEARN TO IMPROVE OUR SKILLS.
• WE UNDERSTAND THAT IN ORDER TO GROW AS AN ARTIST, WE MUST ATTEMPT NEW CHALLENGES AND DO OUR PERSONAL BEST ON EVERY PROJECT.  WE UNDERSTAND THAT MEANS GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE MINIMUM PROJECT GUIDELINES.
• WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE SOME CONCEPTS THAT ARE DIFFICULT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND, BUT IN THOSE CASES WE WILL SEEK CLARIFICATION AND UNDERSTANDING FROM OUR PEERS AND TEACHER IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO OUR BEST.
• WE WILL AVOID DISTRACTIONS, SUCH AS USING MY PHONE FOR ANYTHING UNRELATED TO MY ART; I WILL FOLLOW THE TEACHER’S GUIDELINES FOR PHONE USAGE.
• I WILL TREAT MY TEACHER AND ALL CLASSROOM MATERIALS WITH RESPECT, KNOWING THAT THOSE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED FOR MY BENEFIT.
• WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME FORMS OF ART CREATION MAY CREATE A MESS, BUT THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOROUGHLY CLEANING UP AFTER OURSELVES DAILY.
• I WILL NEVER STEAL ANOTHER ARTIST’S WORK OR IDEAS AND PRESENT THEM AS MINE.
