Materials
Here is a list of materials for ART I classes here at Rolesville High School. While students are NOT required to purchase these materials other than the specific notebook and sketchbook, the following list is HIGHLY recommended for students to have so they will always have the color, shade and size implement they desire to create their art.
Also included in this document are the needs for ART II and beyond.

A varitey of drawing pens such as Micron or Artline are a great assest for students who are interested in fine line drawings. These are more expensive than sharpie markers and are recommended for advanced serious art students .

Erasers
A minimum of 1 Kneaded eraser, 1 Plastic eraser and 1 Gum eraser. I recommend the Prismacolor 3 pack
Oil Pastels
Art I students are required to have a 12 piece set of Oil Pastels. Make sure that the set includes white and black! Crayola Portfolio Pastels are a good set.
Pencil Sharpener
All levels need to have the standard 2 hole metal pencil sharpener
Portfolio
Portfolios ease the transport of art work from school to home. Students will not be allowed to take home artwork without a portfolio. 20x26" should be ideal in size.
Sharpie Markers
Every Level should have 2 Ultra Fine Black Markers. Art II-AP should also have Several Black Sharpie Fine Tip or Chisel Tip markers along with 1 pack of a dozen assorted color fine tip Sharpies. Prismacolor markers are very expensive but worth the investment for serious students.
Sketchbook
All students must have a 100 sheet 9x12" sketchbook with perforated pages specifically for art class.
Supply Box
All students are required to have a case to contain their supplies. Supply stores sell various sizes "tackle boxes" designed for art materials. These cases are great for the transportation of supplies but can be pricey.
Tortillons and Stumps
Tortillons and stumps make blending easer and avoids adding oils from fingers that could damage the paper. A varitey pack of Trotillons are needed for all levels.
