A Level Art Supplies

Hi, I've moved your thread to a more relevant forum

Probably best to check with your teacher what the recommendations/expectations are. I did IB Visual Arts rather than A-level art - I initially used a large (A2 size probably) plastic clip case/portfolio case type thing to put my stuff in as our school just let you buy a "starter pack" at a subsidised cost including this and a sketchbook and some basic supplies.

To be honest though after a while I stopped using it as everything was in my sketchbook or stuff that didn't fit in it (larger paintings on stretched canvas). Depends on what kind of projects you end up working on really - if you do a lot of drawing at A3-A2 size though the plastic clip case thing is probably handy. I ended up moving from an A3 sketchbook down to an A4 one as well, since I preferred the latter, and that just fit in my bag.

I think A-level Art does include some art history/essay based stuff but I don't know when this starts up and how much you'll realistically need for that.

Aiming to have a sketchbook and pencils/pens/graphite sticks for drawing and a putty eraser (much better than any other kind!) will probably suffice for the first week I would imagine and then you can figure out what else you need

Oh, I appreciate it- I didn’t even know you could do that, lol
What generally is the difference between A level Art and IB Visual Art?
And thank you so much, this is so helpful!
