Materials for Vastu 101 - Intro to Art and Drawing

You should be receiving the syllabi for our courses via email today. As some of you have heard, all of the materials, readings, etc. for the Humanities, Cooking, and Italian language courses are included in the program. For the art courses you need to purchase the required materials. The syllabi detail the materials you need and I am posting some images here to help you know what to get.

For Vastu 101 - Intro to Art and Drawing you need to purchase, among other things, a portable sketchbook. Here are two examples of 9" x 12" sketchbooks. You should make sure they have good quality, acid free paper (around 60 pound paper). The Strathmore 400 Series 9" x 12" 100 sheet sketchbook pictured below works well


In terms of pencils, I like the dark Derwent Graphic pencils in the picture below, but blue Staedtler pencils will also work. You should have a range of pencils--6H, 4H, 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B is what I recommend. Also, you should have either a white plastic eraser or a kneadable eraser (both in the picture below), and a pencil sharpener or a small pocket knife to sharpen your pencils. You can purchase all of these materials at most any art-supply store, including the BYU bookstore.
