MATERIALS GUIDE
VISUAL ARTS CORE SKILL COURSES

Helpful tips for planning your approach to buying materials for your course(s)

Contents hide

Focus on acquiring the items on your course list that are required for the first day of class. They are marked with an asterisk* on the list.

Art supplies can vary greatly in quality and price. Take some time to understand the pacing of the course and your own learning goals to make informed decisions about what to buy. Instructors will provide more details about the specific materials needed for each course. Talk to them for advice!

You may already have suitable materials at home; it is not necessary to purchase new materials for every course.

For courses that require software: purchase, download, and install the required software before the first day of class. This will allow you time to troubleshoot any potential installation issues. Most required software are free or have low-cost educational versions that are available to you as an ECU Continuing Studies student.
