Making Your List

Another good idea is to talk to other teachers, those working with you, and ask what they are getting for art teacher supplies as this will help to give you a good general idea of what you should be getting yourself.

Where to Shop

So that you can save as much money as possible and at the same time get the highest quality items you can, you are going to want to take a bit of time to decide on which store you should shop at. There are some really great art supplies stores around the world, in particular the United States.
