A message from our Art Specialist, Ms. Mackin
Here is a suggested basic art supply list for K-2.
I have adapted my curriculum so students can do art at home with minimal supplies, however, these basics will be useful for upcoming projects.
-
Watercolor paint- Pan Watercolors are fine. Crayola or Prang (all the same). Most come with a brush. No need to get expensive!
-
Black Marker (waterproof thick and/or thin “Sharpie” or any other brand).
-
Color Pencils or crayons
-
Scissors
-
Glue stick or white glue
-
Pencil / Eraser
-
Recycled plastic container for water when painting
-
Construction paper
Optional additional supplies:
-
Oil pastels
-
Magazines or scrap paper for collage
-
Drawing paper 9” x 12” or 12” x18”
-
Markers
-
Any random found objects for artmaking (buttons, wood blocks, wire, fabric scraps etc.,)
Art Supply Resources:
Fred Meyer, Target, Artist and Craftsman supplies, Blick Art Supplies, Michaels, Amazon on-line.
* If there is any challenge in getting the above supplies, I will have art packs available labeled Elementary Art in front of Hazel Wolf the weeks of Oct.19-23 an Oct. 26-30. Also, you can contact me directly if you need to. I will try to make sure ALL students can get these basic supplies.
Sincerely,
Maggie Mackin
