Course Requirements and Materials

We believe that art should be accessible to everyone, so there is absolutely no need to purchase fancy, high-end, or expensive supplies before your first evening.

  • What to Bring: If you already own acrylic paints, brushes, or specific paper/canvases that you prefer to use, please feel free to bring them along with you to class.
