Listen to the teacher when she’s talking or giving directions/ NO talking during this time.RESPECTFUL: Students are respectful towards the teacher, each other, and the art room materials. NEVER say anything mean about each other’s artwork or about each other in general.Use only positive language when talking about other people’s artwork.Encourages someone if they see that they’re upsetĪCCEPTING: Students are accepting of each other’s artistic and personal differences Understand that we are all unique and have different ideas, and that it’s good to be different.Helps a friend find a glue stick/marker they dropped.Always shares art supplies without a problem.A student helps another student pick up some spilled paint without being asked.Students are being kind and considerate of one another. Using art room tools and supplies correctly.SAFE: meaning students are showing safe behavior with tools and materials, and their bodies.

So please comment! Plus, did I mention, I’m new to this blogging thing? It is A LOT of text, (I’m not gonna lie) (insert worried expression emoji) but I do discuss in detail about each, and also discuss consequences for some of them as well. ![]() I’m sure you all do a ton of the same things that I’m going to mention, but maybe a couple of them I do differently and might be of use to you!!
