Back-to-School Essentials: The Right Tools for the Year Ahead

A good school year starts with the right supplies. DeSerres carries everything students need, from everyday basics to more specialized art materials: notebooks and sketchpads, graphite and coloured pencils, fineliners and dual brush pens, watercolour and alcohol markers, brushes, acrylic mediums, portfolios, and storage solutions. Whether you're heading into a general program or a fine arts curriculum, the essentials are here.

What to prioritize when building a back-to-school kit

Start with the fundamentals that get used every day: a reliable notebook, a set of graphite pencils in a range of grades, and a few quality pens or fineliners. From there, build toward your program's specific needs. Art students will want to add sketchpads suited to their medium, a brush set, and the acrylic or drawing supplies their courses require. A portfolio keeps finished work protected and organized throughout the year. To complete your kit, browse ourcollections Stationery, Bags & Cases and Books.
