My main worry for move in day is my roommate running out of the room, terrified that she's living with a hoarder who brought 8 boxes of art supplies on the first day.
In order to avoid this scenario, I am discreetly going to bring up my materials in different waves. Since I live close by, my parents are going to bring my materials over the course of a few days, so I don't get overwhelmed the first day. The hope is that I will also have an art locker (and HOPEFULLY a BFA art studio to work in) but we'll see.
For my first wave, I'm just bringing up the supplies I HAVE TO HAVE. I also plan on working the weekend before classes start (such an overachiever) and I want to start working on another paper cutout model of my church.
So far my list is as follows:
FIRST WAVE-
- Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastels (3 old boxes of 48)
- Portfolio Water Soluble Oil Pastels (3 new boxes of 12)
- 3 Sennelier oil pastels (black, gray, and white)

SECOND WAVE-

- Canson Watercolor Pad 18" x 24"
- Yupo Sheet (huge)
- Arches Paper 22" x 28" (around 7 sheets)
- Any old artworks, references, art magazines I feel are inspiring enough to bring back with me
- As much scrap paper as humanly possible
And there you have it. This is the chaos that I'm living with right now. I am taking a figure drawing class and a painting class next semester with professors I've never heard of, so I really have nothing to base my supply list on. I can't say that I've used all of the materials mentioned since a lot of art professors make you buy a ton of stuff and never use it in their classes. Honestly, if any of you know anything about Iridescent Medium, Ox Gall Liquid, Masking Fluid, or Gum Arabic PLEASE tell me!
Anyway, thanks for listening to my hectic life. Now that everything artsy is sorted (for the most part) I can go on to packing and sorting through all the clothes and books in my closet, YAY! *collapses from exhaustion*
