Ms.Gibson's Art Classroom
Here you will find all the information needed for your art class!
Who is the Teacher?
Suggested Supplies: 6,7, and 8
The only suggested supply for the class is a sketchbook that follows the following guidelines:
It must be at least 5x7 inches and no larger than 9x12 inches
The book must be SPIRAL BOUND
The book needs to be labeled “mixed media”
Links to suggested sketchbooks from various stores are below. The ideal time to have this sketchbook would be by the second week of school (8/28-9/1). If your child has it before that timeline, they may bring it in and they will leave it in their space in the art room.
