Hello!
Thank you so much for signing up for “Drawing with Aris Moore: Transparency Books!”
Aris Moore’s drawings are moving, emotional, silly and sometimes haunting and have gained her lots of international attention. In this class she shows us how to make playful books from transparent paper that are full of invention and surprise. This is a great way to lose yourself in a fresh new process with all your colored pencils, pens, markers and more!
Lessons are prerecorded and are available at 1amPT on the following schedule:
Lesson 1 – Tuesday, November 12
Lesson 2 – Wednesday, November 13
Lesson 3 – Friday, November 15
Lesson 4 – Tuesday, November 19
Lesson 5 – Thursday, November 21

Supply List
Hi! I have provided links for your convenience, but please feel free to substitute any of these materials with supplies you already have on hand! –Aris
• Tracing Paper (I like this brand, but anything you have that is see-through will work! I cut pages to 6.5 x 6.5 inches but you could also work larger.)
• acrylic paint markers (I like these.)
• Permanent colored markers (my absolute favorite for this book! I forgot to bring them with me for filming):
• fine point colored pens for small patterns and fine detail fine point sharpies are also great.
• colored pencils (here is a great starter set of Prismacolor colored pencils but any kind should work great)
• alcohol markers (these are super reasonable and great quality)
• Any other types of pens or markers you have lying around.
For the cover, I use a manilla file folder cut to 7 x 7 inches (a half inch larger than my pages) and I use binder clips to hold my book together while i am working on it. When finished, I just staple along the binding and wrap it with masking to cover up the staples… very low tech!
