Classroom Supplies 
|
There is a 15 dollar room fee that is crucial for the funding of engaging art projects and art education. However, due to Covid restrictions for the 2020 school year in terms of the inability to share supplies, as long as students purchase and keep their required supplies listed below, they will not need to pay this fee. Students wishing to/needing to use any of the supplies in the art room are recommended to pay the $15 room fee as supplies will have to be sanitized or replaced once used.
This money is wisely invested into such necessary classroom supplies as drawing pencils, erasers, acrylic paint, tempera paint, paint brushes, colored pencils, rulers, compasses, protractors, brayers, printmaking blocks, scissors, glues sticks, glue bottles, tape, drawing paper, painting paper, construction paper, watercolors, oil pastels, charcoal, drawing pens, clay, and markers.

Required Supply
8 1/2 by 11 inch sketchbook. or 9 x 12 inch
|
| Hardcover (Preferred if possible!) Wirebound (good) Sketchpads are not the same as sketchbooks. |
A sketchbook is an important supply for all levels of art class. This is something that is used nearly every day and is turned in for a grade regularly.
Sketchbooks can be found at Walmart in the arts and crafts area. There is a wider selection offered at Hobby Lobby and at Michaels in Murfreesboro. (Go to their websites to print off a 40 percent coupon before going) Longer lasting and better quality sketchbooks are best bought at Hobby Lobby or Michaels if you are interested in purchasing something high quality. You can also find high quality sketchbooks at Books-a-Million and Barnes and Noble.
Wirebound softcover sketchbooks are a good inexpensive option.
Hard cover are preferred for their durability and are usually better at holding up over time. They are not as likely to fall apart with heavy usage like the wirebound. ***EDIT (The Walmart hardcover sketchbooks have a binding the does fall apart)
Do NOT buy sketchpads. These are similar to sketchbooks, but they are soft cover and the pages are glued in and are generally very poor quality paper. These will DEFINITELY fall apart before the student is able to use them.
If a student is serious about their interest in art then invest in a higher quality sketchbook. The higher quality sketchbooks have better paper that can handle erasing without smudging and other materials like pen and maker. You get what you pay for when it comes to sketchbooks.

Wirebound are ok but are not very sturdy when they are used heavily throughout a whole year.
Hard cover are preferred and are better at holding up over time. They are not as likely to fall apart with heavy usage like the wirebound.
Do NOT buy pads of sketchbook paper that is soft cover and where pages are glued in. These will DEFINITELY fall apart before the student is able to use them.

In the upper level art class it is expected that students begin to take their pursuit of art skills seriously. To advance in art mean taking the time to do art at home as well as school. Students are expected to work in their sketchbooks at home. To get the most from your at home art you need to have a few basic art supplies of your own. Only students who take time to pursue art during their own independent study time will excell in this class.
Previously, the supplies to the left have been recommended, but due to Covid restrictions for the 2020 school year, sharing of supplies is discouraged, and supplies such as erasers and paintbrushes are difficult to sanitize. Advanced Art students in Art 2-4 will need to purchase the supplies listed to the right. In doing so, students will not need to pay a $15 art fee.
