Information About Art Supplies Items
Art industry has seen a lot of growth and upward boom in the recent times. More and more people are expressing interest in Modern Art, and are willing to spend handsomely on it. India, being a traditional and cultural country, has lot of traditional art work to boast off. Many tourists from other countries visit the country in order to take some of such artifacts to their native places.
Art supplies contribute a lot to the Indian economy. The country makes a lot of revenue from Art Supplies and exports. Indian art supplies are in major demand worldwide. Each art work produced in India shows off its unique design and creativity.
Apart from Art, Indian architecture also has a lot to boast off. The ancient as well as the modern Architecture is among the best in the world.
Indian architects, House designers are recognized all over the world for their works, and are in much demand. Famous Indian artists like M.F. Hussein and other sell like hotcakes in the international market and their paintings frequently fetch more than one crore per painting.
Architecture, if looked upon in general, is a rapidly growing field which offers a lot of fame and money. But like an ancient saying “Even a pro needs his tools”, an architect, no matter how good, is useless without his kit. He needs the right kind of art supplies kike pastels, oils, colors, brushes, frames etc.
An architect’s kit comprises simple tools from drawing pencil, drawing board or architect board, drafting table, to complex machines like architectural drafting machine, rubber chair feet, and Light drawing machine.
All these tools are as important as the skill itself. A portable drafting table or a light drafting table is the one which can be carried by the architect to the work site. Hence it is also important if one needs to draft rough sketch or to convert a superb design in the memory to a sketch.
Drafting tables, since being expensive, can be bought second hand. Those who are students in the architecture field should preferably buy used drafting tables.

Could everyone please just stop complaining about school supplies?
I am a First Grade teacher and I am so annoyed with the people on here that are complaining about the school supplies they have to buy for THEIR OWN children! I buy supplies for 22 children that are NOT mine. Believe it or not, as many items as are on those lists, it does not include everything. Nobody pays for the literature we read, the teaching books that we tear pages out of or photocopy to give your children, the "cute" classroom decor that makes for a fun and creative learning environment for your child, the file folders to store your child’s information, and most to-the-point, the school supplies for the kids whose parents are too busy complaining to buy them.
I do not require the name-brand stuff, but I appreciate them because the glue lasts longer, the markers dont dry up as fast, and the scissors dont just rip the paper. As for the baggies, the teacher will be sending things home in them, such as flash cards. I also put snacks that I BUY in them for your kids to eat.
country212531gal:
How about you not make assumptions about things you obviously have no clue about?
First of all, I have no red marking pencils on MY school supply list.
Secondly, I AM buying all of my books for tearing our pages. In fact, I just spent another $75 at Lakeshore today on some Math word problem ones.
And thirdly, I work in a Title 1 (low income area) school and we actually DO buy our own ink and paper for our printers.
To Bunnyrabbit:
I totally understand parents who are on a tight budget. I respect you for doing what you can to help your child, and you are not the type of parent I am talking about here. I am talking about parents who drive nicer cars and live in better homes than I do, but still complain about buying school supplies and expect that I should do it for them.
You do not strike me as one of the "complainers" that annoy me. Thank you for doing what you can!

Well if teachers can afford allll that stuff you say they get for their rooms then go buy your own red marking pencils! I seriously doubt our 1st graders will be grading papers. I also don’t think our schools would always be asking for donations for books and supplies if it was the teachers that were buying them. I doubt teachers are buying the copy paper for the photocopies and the teaching books you tear them from. Talk about complaining.

Fortunaltly I do know what Im talking about. I have 2 children in school and I know exactly what I had to buy them. You talk about the parents complaining about all the supplies we have to buy yet if I read correctly you just did the same thing. If your school doesn’t have the money to buy supplies what makes you think the low income chidrens parents do.
It would have been a better idea to post in your original question that you were talking about the well off parents instead of mentioning it 10 hour after posting the question.

I hear you! I work at Staples and almost every single parent was complaining about the supplies they had to buy and how expensive it was. The thing is though that they could buy NAME BRAND folders, pencils, pens, glue, rulers, hole punchers, pencil sharpeners, filler paper, protractors, notebooks and binders for literally 10 cents and under becasue of all of the sales. It is THEIR choice to buy the expensive stuff with pretty patterns for their kids. Everything on those lists (especially for younger kids) could be purchased for a very small price. There were also huge sales at Target and I’m sure many other places (the dollar store etc).
I guess they don’t see the teachers that come in every day and buy folders and markers and glue and calendars and posters and decorations for their classrooms out of their own pocket! Not to mention that they will be coming back in a few months once the school provided supplies run out!

People may complain because every year the list gets longer and the taxes go higher…we are nearly school taxed out of the homes we saved and worked for all of our lives. I am friends with teachers…and am yet to hear one say that they pay for copy paper and books out of their own money. Secondly, we buy these same supplies over and over thru out the year because they get misplaced or stolen

I’m not a teacher but I completely agree.
You know what’s funny? SOme of the loudest complainers either have questions or have answered questions regarding game systems/video games, etc. It’s really funny. What? You can buy $30-50 games (not to mention the systems) but you can’t spend money to provide the best eduation for YOUR child?
I don’t get it. It’s this attitude that the "teachers are out to get ‘em".
If they only knew how much teachers pay out of their own pocket -it’d blow their mind.
Off-brand items are horrible 9 out of 10 times. The only thing I’ll buy off-brand is RoseArt map pencils. But I still send Crayola to school for my kids.
Thank you for doing what you’re doing. These people should volunteer once in a while at school – it’s painfully obvious that they don’t know the real "workings" of a classroom or school system.

I think the reason people complain is because SOME schools do have unrealistic lists. My little sisters always have the most random things on the list, and most of these extra/luxury items don’t get properly utilized by the school. For example, each kid is required to bring in a huge sized bottle of hand sanatizer…….at the end of the year they still have a lot of bottles left, yet they still require that next year’s students bring in even more bottles of the stuff. What ever happened to just needing to buy simple stuff, like crayons, pencils, paper? Seriously, some of these schools need to realize that some families cannot afford anything more than the basics.
I think it’s great that you are one of the few teachers who are willing to do what they can to help provide necessary supplies to needy children. As a bit of advice, if you are a member of a church or any other community organization, see if they can help provide supplies. Every year, my grandma’s Bible study group works to gather all the supplies the kids will need. My grandma alone provided enough supplies for 10 kids. Just ask, if you go to the right place, I’m sure you can find people who would be more than willing to help you out so you aren’t stuck providing everything.

My daughter just started Kindergarten and I got the ‘would help if you could contribute these items’ list. I am MORE than happy to buy things to send to assist with my daughters learning. I agree that some parents need to stop complaining about it. Go spend $10 and get over it. I hope things get better for ya!

I am not a teacher but I understand. Parents need to go to the school meetings PTA etc. and see what the school budget really is. There is not much extra money for supplies that are greatly needed. I stock up when there are sales and many items can be reused more than one school year. Spending money is part of having children.

I am a low income parent and I agree with you. All of us parents know that our kids are going to need school supplies every year so why not pick things up all year around that way its not so expensive in August. And last year I helped the kinder teacher in my school and she showed me a lot of the stuff that she had to pay for because the school only pays for what is necessary. she was the one that bought all the fun stuff for the kids to do. most of the crafts was bought by her and if the parents didn’t supply enough snacks she always bought extra. So to you parents that complain plan ahead. buy pencils and glue and crayons during the year and you wont have so much to buy at the begging of the school year.
and if you don’t like what your school is doing try homeschooling and see how expensive all the materials are yourself!!!!!!

People are stupid, do they think you make millions of dollars a year? Teachers are one of the most underpaid over worked groups out there! I have a 6 year old in 2nd grade who’s school supply list was almost 2 pages long, but rather than think of buying those things in terms of how much it will cost I thought of how much use she would get from them! I am not rich, but I do know that education is invaluable, so any thing the teacher needs she should get! It is not like they stock pile it to sell on some teacher black market! They do not have meetings where the topic is to see how much pointless stuff they can get the parents to buy! ASK YOURSELF HOW MUCH YOUR CHILDS EDUCATION IS WORTH! IF YOU STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT A COUPLE OF DOLLARS WORTH OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES THEN PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR VOCATIONAL SCHOOL, COLLEGE IS WAY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE! BUT DON’T FORGET CHRISTMAS IS COMING SO MAKE SURE TO GET THEM THAT XBOX, IPOD, AND NAME BRAND SHOES!

Agreed. Things just vary from state to state, province to province, and even within school divisions — so everyone is having such different circumstances.
And parents do NOT appreciate at all, or know, how much individual teachers spend on the students with classroom materials, and throughout the whole year. It’s hundreds and hundreds of dollars – and teachers aren’t paid much.
Parents, appreciate your teachers!

I have so many teacher friends who spend so much $ on supplies. They buy rewards and goodies for their students. They decorate the classrooms up so nicely.
They have pizza parties when all the kids have read so many books – who do you think pays for that?? My friends go to the Scholastic book sales every year to buy new books for their classrooms.
They each spend $100’s every year on OTHER people’s kids and then have to turn around and buy their own kid’s school supplies just like everyone else.

All requests that my kid’s teachers in any grade have sent home so far, have had the qualifier ‘if you are able to’ or ‘if you’d like to’. Nowhere did it say mandatory. It always says "suggested supply list’, ’suggested donation’ and the like.
To all parents who can afford, but complain, help out in a lower grade elementary classroom, and you’ll know what fun it is. You are trusting the teacher with your child for 6 hours a day, how about you trust them when they say they need the supplies? And just send them?
Some of the supplies I’ve sent in have been used by the kids to make Mother’s Day, Father’s day gifts and Holiday Calendars which have my most treasured gifts, adn sometimes the only gifts I get!!!
The only time I can see a valid complaint from parents is if they really cannot afford it(and before they say this they should check how much they spent on kid’s backpack, shoes and other back-to-school shopping).
The other valid complaint could be if teachers single out a kid whose parents have not sent in supplies or contributed.
I do wish my kid’s school gave next year’s supply list before school ends or mail it home atleast 4-5 weeks ahead, so we can shop around. We only get it when class lists are put up which is 2 days before the new school year starts.

Ok, I can see both points, because I have been on both sides of this debate. I was a teacher (for 5 years before I was a parent) and I had to spend a lot of my own money on supplies.
But I have to admit that the parent side is far worse. I followed our school list (including all specific name brands requested by the school). When I left Target I had spent $150.00 on notebooks, etc for two children! (one elementary, one middle school) On open house night. I asked the teacher what they were using a certain supply for and her reply was "I don’t use that, the school makes up the list." Then I found out that all the supplies are put together and used by the class as a whole. Ok, so I buy the requested name brand markers, but my child ends up with the off brand.
Secondly, $150.00 may not sound like a lot to some, but when school starts, my children also have to have shoes and clothes, too. Not to mention school fees! We spent close to another $150.00 for fees at open house. We are considered middle income and it is challenging for us. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for single parents or people in lower income areas.
It is getting so I have to plan back to school like it were Christmas.

You make me glad to be in an Australian school. I believe the teachers do buy a few things but the state government provides most of it. We pay our fees and the school buys everything. The only thing my kids take to school is an art smock,a library bag and a box of tissues. Thank you for making me appreciate it.
