Visual Arts
For the visual arts department, you do not need to purchase any art supplies; we purchase all art supplies for you! Just have clothes (and closed-toed shoes) that can be in a messy art studio, and be ready to learn!
While many materials look the same, they often act differently. If you do want to use personal art supplies, you are welcome to bring your own as long as the teacher agrees, and it is the same kind of material used for the project (i.e. you might be able to bring acrylic paint for an acrylic painting project, but would not be allowed to bring oil paint).
Material studies are a big part of what we do, so talking to your teachers as we go through the curriculum will be best.
