Banksart
At the end of last year we set up a classroom instagram that you can follow to see what is going on in the Banks Road Art Room. I will post pictures of students' finished work, work in-progress, art displays and interesting, art-related things going on in the Banks Road world.
To follow the Banks Road Art Room on instagram, you will need an instagram account yourself. Use your app store on your iphone or ipad to search for and install instagram on your device.
Kids, that means get permission from your parents to use their account or have them help you set one up for yourself.
Remember that you must be responsible, respectful, and safe when using online apps.
Here's How:
Be RESPONSIBLE: You are in charge of the actions that you take and decisions you make, so make sure you are taking and posting pictures that are appropriate. Remember other people can see these pictures, if you allow it, and they can report inappropriate photos.
Be RESPECTFUL: You can comment on other people's photos and on the photos that I post. Make sure your comments are respectful. When you type a comment, before you hit that "send" button, ask yourself "Is my comment respectful? Would I want someone to say this about my artwork? Does my comment use appropriate, positive language?". Make sure you can answer "yes" to all of those questions before you post your comment. Usually, if we follow the golden rule "Do to others as you would have them do to you." it'll keep us out of any trouble.
Be SAFE: Use privacy settings to make sure that only the people you want to follow you on instagram can see the photos that you post. And make sure that you never include personal information such as addresses or phone numbers in your comments, photos or photo blurbs.
Once you have an instagram account, just search for Banksart and click the follow button to begin checking out the photos that we will post. I am looking forward to trying this out for the art room. I, once again, encourage all students and parents that decide to follow us to make sure that any comments are respectful and appropriate for all eyes.
