Materials

You can buy all of the art supplies at any art store such as Dick Blick or Utrecht, or possibly even Michael's or A.C. Moore.

1     Notebook

1     Tape measure: 16' or longer. Should be marked with feet and inches

     (We have some here, but it's easier if you have your own. Go to a hardware store and buy a decent one.)

1           8” Adjustable “Crescent” wrench. (Again, we have some, but having your own is way more convenient. Go to a hardware store and buy a good one.)

1     Scale ruler: Alvin 12” triangular Architect's scale. Also available at Staples.

               NOTE: Architect's Scale! It should have 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc. on it. (If it says 10,

     20, 30, 40, etc. it's the wrong one . . .) If you've had intro to Design or Stagecraft, you're all set!

1           9”x12” Sketchbook: Strathmore 300 series is fine. (Yes, you can use bond paper, but it's not really great to do shaded drawing on.)

1           White  Pastel Pencil(s): Conte or other. You might want a sharpener for it, too. (I just use a pocket knife . . .)

1           Drawing Pencil: Staedtler Lumograph, 6B (You'll probably want a 4B, 2B, and a B,

     also.)

1         Soft Vinyl Eraser: Sanford/Prismacolor Mag
