Choosing the Perfect Ruler for Art School Drawing
The right ruler can make a significant difference in the precision and quality of your drawings, particularly in art school where meticulous attention to detail is required. It's essential to consider the durability, scale accuracy, and ease of use when selecting a ruler. At The Sydney Art Store, we have a curated selection of rulers that are designed for both professional and amateur artists.

Whether you're sketching out initial ideas or refining a final piece, our rulers provide the support you need to excel in your art school endeavors.
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.

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.
