Materials List Art 2006-2007

Notebook/ Sketchbook
This is the textbook for the class, and this is where we will be storing all the information for the exams. Papers must be bound so the student does not lose half of them.

Paper Towels
    2 Rolls are required, one like Bounty to absorb spills and wipe hands and one cloth like one, like Viva, for work with clay.  We have very little left from last year.
    (The school no longer supplies towels for the art room or the science rooms.  So we will be using only what the students bring in.   High quality towels are really needed to absorb and work correctly.  Any thing will be appreciated, but Bounty and Viva are the best for the price. The students share the rolls, and I will store them.  Students receive 5 points extra credit for each roll over 2) 

Suggested:

Watercolors
    (Due to budget cuts, we can no longer afford to get the sets replaced each year, and will be making do with the half used ones from last year (colors missing).  It is highly recommended that your child get one of his/her own.  The best kind is Prang- they last longer and are rather inexpensive. )

X- Acto Blade
    (These are used in a number of projects and in many projects cannot be replaced with scissors.  There are tote trays in the art room that are locked except during the class period, and each student has a private tote tray to store his/her stuff. This is where they keep the blades.  They only need the handle; I have replacement blades appropriate for the individual project.  Students are not allowed to carry the blades on the person or in their binders during the school day.  They may only bring them to and from the art room before and after school, and during school they must remain in the art room.)
