Each learner will need: 
- A watercolor set 
- A brush (any size will do) 
- A cup with water to clean the brush
- Set of crayons (or oil pastels)
- Heavy white paper (watercolor paper is preferred but not completely necessary) 
- Table protection (newspaper, butcher paper etc). 
- Smock or old t-shirt to keep the paints off of your child's clothing

Topics of mental illness with artists such as Munch and Van Gogh will be age appropriate (only mentioned with no elaboration).  Van Gogh's ear incident and later suicide will not be talked about in this class. 
Parents are encouraged to be close by during the classes to help their learner with the painting process to minimize spills (especially with electronics close by!) and to make sure their paints and markers stay on the paper.
