Sketching Materials are required for this course. You will use them for class participation assignments.

- A digital camera (the one on your phone will be fine.)
Scissors, rulers or gluesticks are used to composite your images for presentations. These supplies pencils and markers will be used for all class participation and homeworks. The large sketchbook is where you will draw your homework.
*I recommend you buy name-brand quality pencils and markers as you may end up using them long after this class. The PrismaColor or Crayola brands are very reliable However they may be expensive. Some unbranded markers may give you uneven inking, or you may go through them faster than expected.
