The Master Art Supplies Checklist for Teachers

From our friends at Blick, we’ve compiled a list of essential classroom art supplies. These items are inexpensive, durable, and high-quality, and make our shortlist for the most useful and practical supplies to stock up your classroom with. 

They’re also useful for tons of different types of projects at each grade level and difficulty. These materials were selected after talking with Roxy Piersanti, our Education Director, who is a CPS art teacher herself. They’re the materials that she can’t go without and the first ones she would buy if she had to start from scratch in a new classroom.
