Each class at the Petersen Art Center will require some investment in art supplies that will be used during the class and that become part of your personal "toolkit," for your creative expression. The lists that follow are provided by our instructors. If you already have supplies we recommend that you bring them to your class. In many cases the brush, color or tool that you have may well suffice even if it is not exactly the same item recommended by the instructor. In some cases the instructor may ask you to add items that are essential for the class. Select the links below to download pdfs. of the materials recommended for each class:
