The List

G : Thanks for coming, Dad. I can’t believe my first day of school is just next week! M: Your mother and I are proud of you. Greer is a very prestigious art school. G : There is an enormous list of art supplies. They are mostly items I don’t recognize. M: Let’s look for the supplies that you recognize, Megan, and then we can get help with the rest. G : I need a large drawing board. I also need a drawing pad one meter by half a meter in size, newsprint paper, and a set of artist’s drawing pencils. M: Here is the drawing board, and I noticed the pencils over there. What’s next? G : I need watercolor paint, various brushes, India ink, and a fountain pen. M: They are on the wall display. G : Now we need to locate the vine charcoal. M: Excuse me, miss. W: Yes, sir? How can I help you? M: We’re trying to find vine charcoal. Do you know what that is, and where we can find it? W: Vine charcoal is specially-burned wood. Burning it makes it like a black chalk. It is commonly used for drawing. Vine charcoal is very easy to erase, so we keep it next to the erasers. G : That’s everything, Dad! M: Great! Let’s pay for all these supplies.
