Our class is really lucky...
The school paid for all of our canvas' to be made and for all the frames to be fit and made (which was apparently really expensive)... along with ordering new paints and brushes and everything.

I spent $4 on a rubber, that's about it.

Just curious, how did you actually get all the coat hanger clips?
haha, everyone always asks that.

Well, my first thought was just to steal them. So me and a few friends went to Target, and about half an hour into we realised it was the most impossible task ever.

So a few days later I called up Target and asked them where they sourced their clips from, and they gave me the wholesaler. Then I rang up the wholesaler and ordered so many 200 clip bags of the colours I wanted, and the rest is history!

Quite easy, really, considering how weird the concept was.

Lollll ditto. Wasted so much ink on my ext2 major. I printed so many copies.. Was always paranoid.

That's really cool!
I must say, it's a very unique idea.

Printing and binding were free :D
Omg I hate you! Mine cost a lot because I kept changing my
mind and then reprinting :/ and when I tried to do it for free in the library, the librarian caught my red handed (or should I say black handed) and I had lie saying that I was going to pay...

I miss working on my major

Well for my art major (film) I spent a fair bit, if you're counting on the trip I went on it cost me $1000+
If you don't include the trip where I filmed it was about $100 on fatty sugary foods to keep me going on the editing. That was a bad choice seeing as I was out of shape for quite a while!
