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
• Gather at least 10 photographic images of men, women, children etc. from different periods. They can be in color, black and white, or sepia. It will be interesting to have a range in terms of color and size. Print the portraits as large as possible on a 8.5″x11″ paper (at least two of each portrait so you will feel free to cut them up for various things). I look for different expressions. hairstyles, patterns in fabric etc.
HERE is the PDF that you can print out and use if desired, however using these references is completely optional!
• exacto knife and cutting mat.
• cameraphone or camera
• About 8-10 sheets of 8.5 x 11 in. drawing paper. I work on moleskine sketchbook paper, ! like it because it is cream, very smooth and thick. Cardstock will work great as well or really any drawing paper that you already have or like. You just want it to be thicker than copy paper.
• A variety of pens, pencils, colored pencils, alcohol markers, paint markers, ballpoint pens anything you have or would like to get.
• Gather a variety of paper that you can find around the house, paper bags, post it notes, envelopes, manilla folders, tracing paper, construction papers in different colors, manila paper, notebook paper, tea-stained paper, etc.
• White eraser (or whatever you like as an eraser)
• Glue stick and scissors
