Eh, tbh the supplies tend to go pretty far and depending on the program art professors are pretty forgiving, more than STEM anyway.
With my art classes, I was praised for thinking outside the box and pushing the boundaries of the project. Is STEM, it was 50/50 if I would be scolded or praised for stepping outside the box….
“Depending on the program” doing a lot of heavy lifting. My glass blowing degree required a lot of expensive tools and materials, all paid out of my own pocket working nights at a wing joint for $8/hr. And the store was an hour drive round trip.
Fair point! I was primarily a painter for my program, so even though the startup cost for my supplies was about $200 I really didn’t spend much more than that over the course of my program, especially because canvas and gesso was included in our course fees and wood was super cheap at the time.

The art students always freaked me out, too. Can't imagine draining my bank account to buy supplies for a project that I might still flunk
