CLASS RULES ARE COMING

Aim: What should the rules of the Art Room be?

Do Now: Create 2 classroom rules that you think would be important for an art room.

Be Prepared Everyday!

ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY

SHOW UP WITHOUT A PENCIL

DOES SO WELL IN ART CLASS

TEACHER CALLS HOME AND SAYS I’M AWESOME

Participate in class and put in your best effort!

NO YOU CAN’T KEEP YOUR BAGS AND BOOKS ON THE

TABLE. Keep books and bags off

the desk, and out of

the aisle on the floor.

Cell phone policy:You must sign the technology agreement to use your phone

only for artistic purposes. If your phone is out, or being used for a non-art purpose it

will be taken away.Your parents will get a phone

call home.Repeat cell phone offenders will find their phone in the

main office at the end of the day where your parents will

have to pick it up.

critiques.

Van Gotye

Leave food/drinks in the front of the room. Please don’t eat near artwork.

Be attentive and respectful!

Oh, you’d like respect?

Please, continue being

disrespectful.

Be open to meeting new people and

working with others in

class.

Get to know your

classmates! It’s a great

way to show your respect

for others.

Respect your supplies and the art room’s supplies!Don’t take/touch something without asking permission! Don’t invade others personal

spaces.Use all supplies properly, clean supplies, and put supplies back where you find them!

Raise your hand when you’d like to share something

WANT AN EASY TIP FOR STAYING OUT OF DETENTION?

USE MATURE AND APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR IN

CLASS

Don’t write on school property. If you feel like drawing put it on paper.

NOT SURE IF TAKING NOTES IN BINDER

OR DOODLING ON THE DESK THE WHOLE TIME

If you want to leave on time, help clean up the room...even if it wasn’t your mess.

IT’S 5 MINUTES UNTIL END OF CLASS

CLEAN UP ALL THE MESS!

Stay in your seat unless told otherwise! Walking around can be dangerous and distracting!

WANNA BE DISTRACTING IN CLASS?

KEEP GETTING OUT OF YOUR SEAT

Don’t EVER throw away an artwork without Ms. Livoti’s approval!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

YOU ALREADY THREW IT OUT?

The experience you have in this room is dependent upon your attitude.

IF MY EXPERIENCE IN THIS CLASS IS

DEPENDENT UPON MY ATTITUDE

THEN IF I HAVE A SUPER AMAZING ATTITUDE, CLASS WILL BE SUPER AMAZING?

Commit to your art training! Make art part of your day, every day and stick to it! Walking through the door of the art room is your first step.

Don’t get scared or worried about making art, or what it will look like.

Make artwork for the practice! Enjoy the practice, not the result.

Stay calm and work hard at each project! Don’t let yourself get frustrated.

Every day will be different, do what you can each day

Give your teacher and classmates your personal best so they may achieve theirs. Motivate each other to do better!

Don’t cheat at art by letting someone do something for you. You have to develop your own skill and style!
