Hello, everyone!  Thank you so much for signing up for “Art Rebel!”  Below, I have compiled a list of materials needed for our class.  Since the class is open to a variety of media, there are separate “mini” lists for each concentration; painting, pastels, pencil drawings, etc.  The items under the “Everyone” list, however, include the bare minimum of materials to complete this course are required for every participant.

I also expect you to bring an open mind, a creative spirit, and a sense of humor!  The focus of this class is experimentation and exploration, so be prepared to step outside of your comfort zone and into a new artistic adventure. 

If you have any additional questions about the materials list, or the class as a whole, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].

I can’t wait to get started!

EVERYONE :

2B Pencil.  This may be a mechanical pencil or a traditional one, but we will be using this to create thumbnail sketches for each project.  If you have additional pencils and would like to bring those, then please feel free, but know that they are not necessary to participate in this class.

Eraser. 

Sketchbook.  Any size, any paper type.  This will be where you do thumbnail sketches, execute drawing exercises, and complete optional homework assignments.

 Your preferred work surface.  Canvas, wood, paper, etc.  We will be doing at least three (3) “big” projects, so you will need that many surfaces for your work.   

Paper towels, rags, etc.

NOTE:  Sprayable fixatives are NOT permitted.  If you would like to protect your charcoal work from smudging, please be prepared to use another method of preservation while at class.  If you would like to use the sprayable fixative at home, that is fine, but it is otherwise not allowed as part of this class.
