Integrity and Honesty: Students must demonstrate honesty and integrity at all times. Art class students will have access to other students’ artwork, supplies, tools, and equipment.  I must be able to trust every art student.  By signing this sheet, both student and parents accept the responsibility that comes from working in an art studio.
