Visual Arts Safety For Students

If you teach students in an art classroom program that “produces” something, in other words, a piece of artwork such as a painting, sculpture, jewelry, etc., students should understand that clean-up materials, paints/solvents, metal shavings, or process rinse waters may fall into the hazardous waste management category.

In this online pathway, students will learn about risks, hazards, and safer practices in painting, ceramics, photography, jewelry, printing and printmaking, metalworking, welding, and woodworking, as well as the associated buildings, studios, and storage space, are some activities that commonly use materials that are hazardous and may therefore become regulated waste.
