My Supply List:
The vast majority of these items are things that I almost always keep on hand for projects, with a few things added for special projects next year. While less expensive brands can be substituted, I personally believe it is important to use "artist quality" materials with kids whenever possible.
- Riverside Tru-Ray Construction Paper (in a variety of colors)
- Strathmore Visual Journal (one per student)
- Spectra Kolorfast Tissue Paper (in a variety of colors)
- Blick Studio Artists' Boards (for special projects)
- White Acrylic Gesso
- 1/2" Flat Brush (one per student)
