ART CLASSROOM SAFETY PROCEDURES ------ Artists follow certain procedures to ensure their work environment is safe. A safe studio helps promote creative artwork.
Know your materials: Using classroom approved materials is much safer than using borrowed art supplies with which you may be unfamiliar.
Know your process: Be conscious of the materials you are working with. tempera paints, cutting blades, and other art materials can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Only use art materials that you have received instruction in using.
Be aware of your surroundings: Certain art processes require training prior to execution. Make sure you are comfortable using all art equipment and tools before beginning a project. If a piece of equipment seems to be broken or is not working correctly, ask for help immediately. Do not continue working if you suspect something is wrong.
Work Safely: You will be working in close proximity with other artists. Make sure you are aware of the tools and equipment that is being used around you. The best way to prevent an accident is to stay alert.
Clean Up: Keep your work area free of sharp objects, and unopened materials. Take responsibility for your own safety and the safety of those around you.
Wash Up: Keeping the studio and equipment clean helps eliminate potential safety risks. Clean tools and equipment last longer and function more safely and effectively. Always wash all solvents, paint, marker, and other art materials from your skin. If materials are harmful to your exposed skin at any time notify Ms. Butler immediately AND ask whenever you are unsure of anything!
