What Supplies Do I need?
It is good to always keep markers, colored pencils, white card stock (white printer paper is acceptable), a ruler, scissors, and glue (liquid glue is my preference, glue sticks are fine).
For fun or to extend your exploration of a project, you can always use other art supplies.
Lined notebook paper is never acceptable for art assignments.
