For our class project we’ll work through four exercises that aim to keep us creating. We will explore low stake ways to keep us returning to our art table when we are struggling through an art slump.

Below is a list of art supplies you might want to have on hand to work through our four exercises. However, each exercise can be completed on an iPad using a drawing app like Procreate.

Optional Art Materials:

Drawing Paper
Watercolor or Mixed Media Paper
Pens or Markers
Charcoal and/or Soft Pastel
Colored Pencils: Minimum set of 24 colors
Graphite Pencil
Watercolors or Acrylic Paints
Acrylic Ink or Liquid Watercolor
Paintbrushes in a variety of sizes
Cup for Water
Cloth
Washi or Painters Tape
Ruler
Glue: Liquid Glue and/or Glue Stick
iPad
Procreate or other drawing app
