front of the room. Please
don’t eat near artwork.
Be attentive and
respectful!
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
Don’t write on school property. If you feel like
drawing put it on paper.
If you want to leave on time, help clean up the room...even if it
wasn’t your mess.
Stay in your seat unless told otherwise! Walking around can
be dangerous and distracting!
Don’t EVER throw away an artwork without Ms. Livoti’s
approval!
The
experience
you have in
this room is
dependent
upon your
attitude.
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!
