GRAFFITI ART CLASS RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT AND INDEMNITY CONTRACT

I hereby acknowledge, and understand that SPRAYFINGER and Peyton Scott Russell (hereinafter collectively referred to as “SF”) teaches a style of art known as “Graffiti Art.” Graffiti Art is a fine visual art form that uses creative styles of lettering with incorporating the basic elements of art (line, space, shape, form, texture, color, and contrast) as well as the principals of design (balance, movement, pattern, emphasis, perspective, unity, and variety).

In teaching the techniques of Graffiti Art the Student will explore the history and origins of Graffiti Writing; specifically, how it evolved from vandalism into a widely accepted fine art and used in commercial advertising and other ways. The teaching material used will include videos, books, internet research, PowerPoint presentations and lectures. It is important to stress that while the origins of Graffiti Art link back to illegal activities including vandalism and trespassing (often to commit vandalism), SF does not condone, encourage, or support the Student or any Student to partake in any illegal activities or behaviors. In fact, as a condition to participating in the class: I hereby agree that I will not engage in illegal activities relating to graffiti vandalism and that I will only use the techniques I learn in a lawful way.

FURTHERMORE, I HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS SF, the owners and lessors of the premises on which the activity takes place from all liability, claims, demands, losses or damages on account caused or alleged in whole or in part by any act or omission of theirs in connection with the teachings of SF, whether or not caused in whole or in part by their negligence, and further agree that if, despite this release, I or anyone on my behalf makes a claim against the above, I will indemnify, save and hold harmless each of them from any litigation expenses, attorneys fees, loss liability, damage or cost as may occur as the result of such claim.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY; IF ANY PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT IS HELD TO BE INVALID THE BALANCE SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
