Items Needed for Art

I have a lot of parents e-mail me asking me to clarify what their child needs for art. So here is a visual list. As a 100% visual learner I love visual anything.
1. Your child needs a large t-shirt that will used as a smock. Usually they work better than the plastic ones. These smocks stay in the child's cubby/locker and they come to art already wearing them regardless of what we are doing.

2. Each child will need to bring in 2 containers of wipes. These wipes are used to clean hands after painting, gluing, printing. If we were to wash hands we'd waste 20 minutes of our 45 minutes. These same wipes then are used to clean the tables which are often also covered in paint. They do not need be disinfecting wipes.

3. your child will also need a sketchbook or a booklet of paper with no lines. Preferably with pages thicker than a composition book. We might use watercolors in them so a regular notebook might not work. make sure you heavily label this for they will be needed each time in the art studio. The older kids can bring these back and forth from home for I will be giving assignments to complete at home. A old sketchbook with at least 40 empty and usable pages will be fine too.
