Students in the Art department should be respectful of other students' artwork by not touching it, as damaged work could affect grades. They should also be respectful of materials by using fragile items carefully and following safety instructions when using sharp equipment. The sink area must also be kept dry and clean to prevent slips or water damage to artwork. Students are expected to bring a sketchbook to class to apply their best efforts and take risks in exploring different ways of working.

If exam work becomes damaged it could affect a
student’s final grade. Enjoy the work around you
but do not touch it please.
The materials
Some materials are fragile and need special care
and attention to use them correctly.
The equipment
You may use equipment that is sharp so make
sure you carry scissors carefully and follow all
safety instructions.
The sink area
Never mess about at the sink. If the floor
becomes wet is could be slippery and
dangerous. You could also accidently flick water
on a piece of work and ruin it.

4. Always aim high
You need a sketchbook for class work,
homework and for your own drawings.
This is a place where you apply your
best efforts, take risks and explore
different ways of working.
Please bring £1 for a department
sketchbook or buy your own (spiral
bound or stapled only) for the next
lesson.
