If you join an
art program or attend art school, this could mean that you would be exploring
different styles and methods of creating art. The problem with this is that
many of these art styles call for different kinds of materials to be used.
Hence, to help you cut down on art school supplies expenses, here are a few
tips you could try out:
·
If you're going
to need tools, find alternatives or make your own. Canvases, for example, are
pretty expensive if you buy them pre-built, and they only come in predetermined
sizes. Although the convenience is truly attractive, the price tag, however, is
not. Buying the materials to make a canvas, on the other hand, could be cheaper
by even more than half of what you would pay for a pre-built one.
·
Buying in bulk
could also save you a lot of money in the long run, but if you're worried about
not being able to use them all up, you can try sharing the expense with your
classmates.
·
Start with the
basics, and don't buy anything too specialized just yet. For instance, as a
beginner, you still won't be needing rulers with attachments on them, or
special colored pencils that becomes water color paint when you dab water on
them.
Art is very
flexible, and if you think outside of the box, you'll find inexpensive and
better ways of expressing creativity.
