Social and Lawful

I came across this sign in an alley near my home last week. I think the language and tone speaks to some of the ethical concerns we'll no doubt get around to as the semester progresses.

Class Guidelines / Mission

The mission, as a class and community, is to foster an inspiring and motivational environment that promotes creativity, ingenuity, critical thought, the development of research skills, and collaboration. The community will strive to recognize the validity of each individual’s motivation/vision and artistic practice, and is committed to ongoing discussions regarding the artist’s role, relationship, and engagement with their subject(s).

By creating a noncompetitive environment that values social capital and mutual aid, the community will form a safety net that facilitates risk-taking, honesty, and transparency. The community will make accommodations to ensure that everyone can contribute and receive feedback; respect for one another will be established through healthy critique, evolving dialogues, and shared expertise.
