Supplies are available in the Department's Art Store. The store runs
on a cash basis. You may pay by check, made out to "Allegheny College",
or by cash. We do not have provisions to charge supplies. If you are waiting
for a check from home or from a source of financial aid to pay for your
supplies, see the professor to arrange for purchase of your materials.
Lockers for storage of supplies are provided under the windows around the
skylight. Please share a locker with someone in the class. You provide the
lock.
Please put a label on the locker listing your name, Art 281 and this semester
so we will know that the locker is in current use.
