All students are required to bring their own supplies.
Make sure students bring supplies to class every week, use ziplocks/bags for storing/organizing paints, brushes and other art supplies. Do not leave Art Supplies in the car as the paints can freeze or overheat and they will become clumpy and unusable.
Quality paint supplies can be purchased online from Michaels and Amazon as well as Colours and Delta Art Supplies in Edmonton.
There is also an online Canadian company: deserres.ca
Some supplies my be sourced from local retailers such as Walmart or Dollarama.
