Pencils:
If you
good quality colored pencils (Prismacolors, Lyra, Derwent, Faber-Castell, Caran
d’Ache) bring them. Otherwise, it is better to buy the pencils we need
individually. Do not buy student grade pencils. Please don’t bring Crayola
Pencils. They are too hard to get nice color and you will be frustrated. If you
already own watercolor pencils bring
them. We may get a chance to play with them. You will need the following basic
colors.

“If nothing else,
the years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a
good chance that one day you’ll be tempted to start using it.”…Paul Auster
