PLEASE NOTE: RE: Unit 7, Printing Processes and Graphic Designs, Lesson 34, page 2 of 2. The following sentence was omitted:
"Printer's inks will produce better images than acrylic but are slightly more expensive. You may use acrylic that you already have. These images were printed with acrylic." You have a choice of using acrylic paint or printer's inks.You may order art materials through Spears Art Studio, Inc. by using the up-dated art supplies lists, and an on-line ordering worksheet available on the ART MATERIALS ORDERING page.
An art image source list in PDF has also been added for your convenience. It will save valuable time in researching images for the lessons. It will appear immediately on the hard copy, but will take some time for it to appear on the CD. You may download the list free.
PLEASE NOTE: Some web sites have changed the location of the selected images since this list was created. If you encounter this difficulty, you may find the image by "googling" the name of the artist and the image title. Click on "Image results for...."
