Classroom Expectations and Safety Rules

Expectations and Safety rules are important in all classroom settings but even more so in an art room... If I were to create a set of rules for my classroom, they would be along the lines of this:

Art Room Expectations

Respect Each Other

Properly use materials, supplies, and tools AS DEMONSTRATED

Come in, get your materials, sit down, and be ready to work!

Clean up after yourself! There's no 'I' in TEAM...

Be Creative! Don't let anyone kill your creativity!

Art Room Safety Rules

Only use equipment AFTER being shown how to properly handle it!

If you have a question about how something works, ask!

No fixative/spray paint will be sprayed inside the room

Do NOT touch the hot kiln

Long hair and baggy clothing must be held back/secured while operating machinery 

(including the pottery wheel)

Wear safety goggles whenever applicable

Do not remove tools/equipment from the art room without permission from the teacher

Alert the teacher as soon as possible if there is an injury

Know where all the first aid kits/supplies are!
