PLEASE BRING TO THE FIRST SESSION:
• Basic drawing equipment of your own choice (at least one HB pencil and a
rubber). Any relevant art materials that you have.
• A sketchbook (or you can purchase paper from the tutor at a minimal cost).
• It would be very useful to see a small collection of recent drawings or paintings,
but it is not essential if you do not have any to bring.

You will need to provide your own materials for most activities, though easels and
drawing boards will be provided at no additional cost. Various types of paper can be
purchased from the tutor (subject to availability) for a minimal fee.

However, if youdon’t have any of the materials listed above, wait until you have spoken to the tutor
before making purchases as the project will be discussed in the first lesson.
