Rules+and+Tools

 **Dear Parents and Guardians, I am excited to get to know your students, and to teach them about some of the most wonderful ways art can be explored and created. Your students will be exploring various cultures, and their jewelry and metalsmithing works of art. Along with learning some of the more traditional styles, skills, and basic components of working with metal and creating jewelry. There is a lot that we will be exploring in the next eight weeks. I want to ensure that your students will not only enjoy what they are learning, but gain an understanding the importance of utilizing good judgment, and practice of the safety rules and guidelines for this class. As with any art studio there is a lot of materials, tools, and equipment that the students will learn to use and manipulate during the class, so they will be briefed on for the appropriate and safest way using them. The materials, tools, and equipment, safety rules and guidelines is something I feel is not something to take lightly, so each student will need to pass a written safety test. I would like you and your student to review the unit lesson plan, to have sneak preview on what we will be learning, what materials we will be using, and what is to be expected. Next, if you would please review the word document below to understand the rules and guidelines for the class. The bottom portion of this page, your students will do as a class assignment, before we start any of the metalsmithing projects for this class.**
