Children love expressing themselves, and they can easily do this through drawing classes. While any child can pick up a pencil and draw, it's best to have them start with the safest tools that deliver productive and satisfying results. Here is a list of elementary art essentials kids will love.
Paint Sticks
Paint sticks are the ideal tool for children's art classes because they can be easily stored in a pencil case or backpack. These are useful for children because they can create original art without any mess. They are also easy to clean off if things get a little out of hand during class.
Sharpies
Art teachers have been using Sharpie markers to teach children about art for decades, so it's no surprise that the markers have become a staple in elementary art classrooms. Graffiti-style artists have extensively used sharpies in their work. However, their precise texture and bright colours make them essential as a budding artist's toolset.
Multi-Purpose Paper
Multi-purpose paper is a type of paper that can be used for a variety of uses. It includes features such as construction paper, wrapping paper, and printer paper. Multi-purpose paper's textured surface can be used as a canvas for artwork, and its durability makes it perfect for photography.
Art Paste
Art paste is a type of paint and glue alternative that is suitable for young children because it dries quickly and is free from toxic chemicals. It can even be wiped away with a cloth if it gets on the surface you're working on. Lastly, they don't create clothing stains, making them perfect for elementary school artists.
Water Color
Painting with water is a fun activity that young children can do. It allows them to express themselves creatively while also developing their fine motor skills. It also helps them to develop their understanding of colors and how they are used.
