Supplies

For each course you will need a variety of art supplies and materials. You can expect to spend up to $200 (estimate) on supplies per course in addition to tuition. A supply list will be available on the course site in Canvas 30 days prior to the first day of class.

​​To mitigate costs, students are encouraged to use supplies they already have on hand and are similar to the requested item in the supply list. If you are uncertain if an item will suffice, address it with your instructor at the start of the first class through the Canvas Inbox or during a live session. Do not substitute materials without first obtaining approval from the instructor. Unless otherwise indicated on the supply list, have all supplies purchased and available to you for the first class.
