Time to get started


I was very encouraged on Friday after talking to all of you. Most, if not all of you had a general idea of what you want to pursue for your concentration. Now it's time to get started. You need to purchase or find something to paint/draw/collage/sew onto. It's called a substrate. We are fortunate to have many art supply stores near us. Get this done so that you are not wasting precious class time. It's time to get started!!!!

Aaron Brothers http://www.aaronbrothers.com/ If you google Aaron Brothers there are coupons online, one is for 50% off one item. Good deal.

Art Media http://www.artmediaonline.com/ Art Media gives a 20% discount for students, all the time, on all items. Just show your student I.D. Great selection! Locally owned.

I've Been Framed: 4950 SE Foster Rd Portland, OR 97206 This store doesn't have a website but I put the address here. I realize it's farther away than the other stores BUT... if you have a sense of adventure and not a ton of money to spend this is the place to go. They have ridiculously cheap prices on items. It's like the Nordstrom rack of art supplies. Great stuff, bargain prices.

Utrecht Art Supply http://www.utrechtart.com/stores/dsp_viewstore.cfm?storeID=93 Just like Art Media but NOT locally owned.

Muse Art and Design http://museartanddesign.com/ Cool hipster place on Hawthorne.

Michaels http://www.michaels.com/ Not my favorite place to go, but again if you type into Google Michaels coupons there is always a 40% off coupon for one item.

    I wasn't there on Friday, so I will turn in the two worksheets when I get back! Should I also chose/tell you a concentration before next class?

    I went to art media this weekend and they were having a really good sale on a package of watercolor paper.

    also they said that they got bought from someone so you have to sign up for a card to get the student discount...but it's really easy and quick to get the card.
