ART STUDIO EXPECTATIONS

GROWTH MINDSET Have a growth Mindset. Try it! You may not have it yet, but that's how we develop as an artist.

GET MESSY 

We will use non toxic mediums, but these  materials have pigments, so they may stain clothes. Wear clothes that can get messy.

RESPECT YOUR LEARNING & OTHERS

Arrive ready to explore and to work creatively.

HAVE SELF AWARENESS
