Essential Art School Supplies for Every Student
Starting art school is an exciting journey, and having the right tools is essential for building skills and expressing creativity from day one. Core art supplies like sketchbooks, pencils, erasers, and rulers form the foundation of every artist’s kit. For painting classes, essentials often include watercolour paints, acrylics, oil paints, and various brush types. Students will also benefit from having palette knives, mixing palettes, and canvas boards or pads for practicing technique. Reliable drawing supplies such as charcoal, graphite, and coloured pencils are key for foundational sketching and illustration. Staying organised with a sturdy portfolio, pencil case, and tool roll helps keep materials accessible during class or critiques.

Different artistic techniques call for specialised materials, and matching your supplies to your process ensures smoother execution and better results. For example, students practicing ink work will benefit from dip pens, waterproof ink, and bleed-proof paper to master fluid linework and crosshatching. Those working in mixed media should have a combination of dry and wet tools, including soft pastels, acrylic paints, and collage adhesives. Sculpture or 3D design courses may require clay, modelling tools, wire, and armatures, while printmaking students often need carving blocks, linocut tools, and brayers. Choosing compatible surfaces is also crucial—wood panels, stretched canvas, and heavyweight mixed media paper each provide different responses to materials.
