The Four Agreements

The Four Agreements are an integral component to the culture of Pleasant Valley School.  As such, we look at and discuss how the Agreements look, sound and feel in the art room.  This year students looked at several examples of famous artists working in their studios.  We observed what they looked like while they were hard at work.  We imagined what their studios would sound like in the midst of the creative process.  We entertained the idea of what it would feel like to be an artist working on their artwork in their studio.  Since the students are the artists and the art room is their studio space, they were quick to make the connection that if we all promise to follow the Four Agreements, our art room would mimic the atmosphere of any of the famous artists' studios.  With a high five, each student at Pleasant Valley promised to follow the Agreements and I kept a hand as a visual reminder of that promise!
