Most of our classes will be drawing lessons in which we begin with a pencil and then add color as time allows.  I've also listed some painting materials because we will occasionally be painting.  

DRAWING SUPPLIES
pencil
eraser
sharpener
paper (sketchbook or drawing paper)
coloring tools (crayons, colored pencils or twistables)
Tip:  Markers can give bold color but are not well-suited for blending and shading possibilities so I do not recommend markers for this class.

Optional:  Your child may become interested in spotting different species of birds and recording their spottings in a journal but this is not required.

PAINTING SUPPLIES for OCCASIONAL WATERCOLOR PAINTING:

pencil, eraser, sharpener
9" x 12" Watercolor Paper (or similar size)
A set of Watercolor Paints (just a simple set of 12 or 24 colors
A few Watercolor Paint Brushes in different sizes
Water in an open cup, can or jar
Paper Towels
Oil Pastels in a variety of colors (be sure they are not the type that can be blended with water--it would say it on the package if it is)
Optional Substitution:  (If your child does not already have a set of oil pastels, crayons could be used instead.)


SUPPLY LIST for OCCASIONAL ACRYLIC PAINTING:

ONE 8"x10" White ACRYLIC PAINT SURFACE (See Several Options Below):
Stretched Canvas, Canvas Panel/Board, or Acrylic Canvas Paper
(What are the differences? . . . Stretched Canvas has primed (coated white) canvas stretched over a wooden frame & stapled to the wood.  Canvas Panel/Board feels more solid like the canvas is mounted/glued to a stiff cardboard.  Acrylic Canvas Paper is thick, coated paper that is flexible but won't warp and tear as easily as other papers and comes in a pad of multiple sheets.) 

ACRYLIC PAINTS:   (not tempera, not watercolor, not oil)
I suggest as least 1 ounce of several different colors including Blue, Red, Yellow, White & Black plus also Green, Orange, Purple & Brown although your child may not choose to use all of the colors.  (Thicker acrylic paint in tubes are the best consistency for our painting techniques.  If possible, try to avoid using the thinner acrylics in plastic bottles that sound watery when shaken.)  

PAPER PLATE to use as a paint palette. (Optional to use a plastic paint palette instead or even a disposable pie tin)

ACRYLIC PAINT BRUSHES in a variety of sizes.  Include a couple of medium size ROUGH Flat Brushes (looks like a square on the tip but bristles are rough and a little prickly to the touch.  Also include a couple of very small SMOOTH Acrylic Brushes (1 very small Round brush like a pencil tip shape and 1 slender Flat Square Shape)  Please avoid brushes that are flimsy and bend when put under a stream of water. (Those are watercolor brushes instead of acrylic brushes.)

WATER in a metal can, plastic cup or glass jar.
