Most Art Teachers operate on a really tight budget. My BEST advice is to divide up your budget in two - order supplies at the beginning of the year and again at the beginning of the second semester. 

Where to ORDER Art Supplies: Dick BLICK and Amazon are my best friends when it comes to my supply list
