Required Materials
 Students are welcome to purchase the following anywhere but links are given to show the product image and help with accessibility.  All other supplies will be provided.

  • pad of inexpensive drawing paper at least 50 sheets
  • eraser (this is where a good, white eraser might serve you well because the eraser itself won’t leave a mark.  The Staedtler white vinyl eraser is really great this way: https://amzn.to/4nZ11XT )

At home, students will need access to the internet (home or library) to access their online course, look up information, related published materials and/or videos and do work through the Canvas learning management system. Some videos provided by illuminat-ED will be subscription-based and issued by illuminat-ED as needed. Some videos will be freely available.

Time Required Outside of Class and Transcriptable Time
Students may need to finish any unfinished projects and that should take less than an hour if/when it happens; but some students may take longer.  Parents should be on the lookout for potential perfectionist tendencies.

Some students WANT to continue working on projects because they enjoy the subject.

Parent Considerations & Grading Art
This is a course that is prone to students sometimes spending more than the allocated time moreso out of interest than necessity.

Class time is also for discussing new content/concepts and attempting these together.

Also, as art is an individual endeavor and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, students are graded based on their obvious attempt to do what the assignment asks vs. the “beauty” of the final product
