Year 7 Art Materials - September Start 2026

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to Year 7! To help students make a successful start in Art, we kindly ask that the following materials are purchased before the beginning of the September term. These resources will be used throughout the school year as students complete a range of exciting creative outcomes in The Jungle Project, while developing fundamental artistic skills such as drawing, shading, colour-blending and painting. Having these materials from the start will ensure that all students are fully prepared to participate in lessons.

Required Art Materials:

• Artist shading pencils
• Artist colouring pencils
• Artist watercolour set (including a brush)

To make purchasing these materials easier, we have included three suggested options for each item below. Please purchase one option from each category only. These are recommendations, and you are welcome to purchase equivalent artist-quality alternatives if preferred.
