Classroom Conduct

A variety of classes events share the classroom space. While you are in the classroom please observe the following;

• No food is to be consumed in the classroom, unless approved by the instructor.
• Please take all personal phone calls outside of the classroom.
• Please be sure to clean and care of your own and shared supplies, and be considerate of other’s space and equipment while sharing the space.
• Wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting messy.
• Please respect others and the studio environment.

Classroom Safety

Paint pigments and other art supplies may include metals and minerals that can cause irritation or damage if ingested or put on the skin. Being in the classroom may also expose students to fine dust from charcoal or pastels, or harmful fumes released from glues, fixatives, thinners and other materials. The instructor takes precautions to provide supplies with non-toxic pigments and to limit exposure to other potentially harmful chemicals, but some risks remain, so each student must take care to use supplies in a safe manner.
