My Project

The year is almost over and I am planning for the Fall with basic supplies we use almost daily in the art room.

We need white sulphite drawing paper which will be used by seven hundred students.

Black Sharpies and metallic Sharpies are a must for multiple projects. Watercolor sets are needed to replace our old ones and oil pastels in a classpack will cover us until the end of the year. Most of these items will need to be reordered by December since we go through so much.

With these basic items, we can start right away with our drawing and painting. Having fresh supplies will be a thrill for my students to use. We follow core ELA, science and social studies curriculum for all grade levels. Our projects reflect what the students are learning in their core classroom so we will be illustrating weather, trees, life cycles, animal defenses, holidays around the world and more.

Thank you for considering our project for basic art room needs.
