Must-Have Tools for Art School Success
Success in art school starts with being prepared, and having a reliable set of tools ensures that students can fully engage with studio assignments and creative challenges. Sketchpads in various sizes, including A3 and A4, are important for daily practice, concept development, and project submissions. Acrylic mediums, fixatives, and gesso primers support work across multiple surfaces, while rulers, compasses, and protractors assist with technical drawing. Specialty paper for watercolour, marker, and pastel ensures optimal results in specific projects. Art students may also require cutting tools such as craft knives, scissors, and safety rulers for model making or collage work..

Selecting the right art supplies for school depends on the course requirements, personal artistic style, and the techniques being explored. Students studying fine art will need a strong foundation in both wet and dry media, including drawing pencils, charcoal, and water-based paints. Design or illustration-focused students may prioritise markers, technical pens, and digital-compatible sketchbooks. Paper selection is critical—smooth bristol boards, textured watercolour paper, and heavyweight cartridge pads all offer different benefits depending on the medium. Brushes and tools should be chosen based on flexibility and ease of control, especially when switching between painting, inking, or detail work.
