MATERIALS LIST FOR COLOR AND DESIGN 1 (ART 136)
(in order of timely need)
(immediate)
1 small jar of rubber cement
1 notebook
1 knife or scissors
1 place at home to work
1 box in which to keep all this stuff.
1 black portfolio (not a brown heavy paper envelope that you tie with
those strange reddish brown cloth-like strings)
(two weeks)
1 18" x 24" pad of white paper
1 one ounce jar of black drawing ink(The Generous Professor will provide
free refills)
1 sumi (bamboo) brush
1 pen holder and at least 3 assorted nibs. including Speedball B-5
1 conte crayon (soft)
(six weeks)
Least Expensive Option:
Buy Liquitex's "Basic Value Pak" which consists of six 5 oz. tubes of polymer acrylic paint in the following high intensity colors: red, yellow, blue, green, white, black. This pak should be supplemented with separate purchase of a 2 oz. tube of prism or dioxine violet. These "Pak" paints are low pigment density (weak) paints. That cannot be extended much by adding medium to them.
More Expensive Option: Buy individual 2 oz. tubes of the following Liquitex colors: cadmium red hue, cadmium orange, cadmium yellow light, permanent green light, cerulean blue hue, ultramarine or cobalt blue, prism or dioxine violet, ivory black, titanium white, neutral gray value 5, deep magenta. These are higher pigment density paints that can tolerate the addition of a lot of medium and still hold the color. Most of these colors are available from various manufacturers such as Grumbacher, or Windsor Newton, including Liquitex and equivalents are generally available for those of other names
The above color selection should be regarded as minimal.
1 palette or paper palette pad
1 palette knife (not plastic)

1 1/2" flat hair-type brush 1 1/4" dia. round hair-type brush*

bring something new to class.
