Art Room Procedures

The Three “Bee’s”

Clean up any spills

“ Bee” Respectful

Be a team player
“ Bee” Responsible
If you helped make the mess, please help clean it up

Art Room Jobs
Chair Checkers: make sure all chairs are pushed in at the end of class (or stacked up at the end of the day)
Table Captains: Check everyone’s table at the end of class to make sure all materials are put away appropriately
Handout Helpers: Assist the teacher in passing out materials at the beginning of class
Floor Finders: Check the floor at the end of class to make sure it is clean and neat
Material Collectors: Assist the teacher at the end of class by picking up materials and artwork from each table
Final Inspectors: Check every table, chair, and the floor to give a final two thumbs up!

Cleaning Up After Painting
YOU are responsible for your own materials! Please clean up after yourself by doing the following:
Take water container, paintbrushes, and paint trays to the sink area. Rinse out all tools and place clean paintbrushes in the container with the bristles facing UP.
If there is leftover paint, leave it on the counter.
Throw any wet newspaper away; fold any dry newspaper to be recycled another day.
Put your painting on the drying rack (use two hands to carry it).
Make sure your table is clean and dry. Use a sponge to clean up any paint or water, and dry with paper towels.
Help any classmates that need an extra hand.
Put your paint smock back in the closet (neatly).
Be proud of yourself for a job well done!

Cleaning Up After Clay
Clay is FUN! Follow these rules for a quick clean up:
Gather any scraps of clay and place them back in the plastic clay bag.
Gather all tools (rolling pins, clay cutters, sponges, wire cutters) and put them back in the correct place on the clay cart
Wrap your clay project in your plastic bag.
If you are finished with the project, wrap it very loosely.
If you are still working on your project, wrap the plastic tightly around the clay.
Write your name on a piece of tape and stick it to the bag.
Place your project on the clay shelf.
Recycle any newspaper that you can; throw away any torn or wet paper.
Use a sponge to clean the clay off your table; dry with paper towels.
Help any classmates that need an extra hand.
Wash your hands!
Put your apron back in the closet (neatly).
Be proud of yourself for a job well done!

How To Turn In A Completed Project
Make sure your name (first and last) is on the back of your project (or on the bottom of a clay project).
Put your teacher code under your name (classroom teacher’s first initial and grade number. Example: Popko’s 4 th grade is P-4).
Place your completed project in the “completed projects” tray on the teacher’s desk. If you are finished with a painting and it is still wet, place it back on the drying rack.

I’m Finished…Now What?
Once you have completed your work and you still have some time left until the end of class, choose from these options:
Read a book
Free draw
Play with clay
Create a recycled project
Use the pattern blocks
Play a game with a friend

You Are On Your Way!
Now that you have learned how to use the Art Room appropriately, you can have a lot of fun!
Remember, there are no wrong answers in art. Your opinions matter. Don’t be afraid to tell people how you feel about the art we are working on.
Bring your ideas with you every time!
