we have text books in our art room, so he don't usually take them home unless we don't get the work finished.
Most of our work is photo copies, overheads and discussing stuff with the class.

we have 2 or 3 in the rooms but get excerpts and black and white pictures of artworks we hav to study to take home. there doesnt seem much point in your friend having 9 txts and besides who wants to carry that many text books around?? it would be back braking

^^ she doesnt have to carry them around normally, they keep them at home for reference and sometimes have to bring a few in if the teacher says ... but yeah still .. i cant get over how ridiculous it is

i never had any textbooks as such. i found the best "textbooks" were just books about the artist(s) you are currently studying, and a copy of the syllabus to put it all in perspective. if your school has free printing, it'd probably be a good idea to get a copy of the syllabus and either bind it (for a couple of bucks at officeworks etc), or fill up one of those display folders (but then you can't write on the pages)

We don't have ANY textbooks. :| Well I suppose my teacher spends a lot of time photocopying from lots of books.. and giving us sheets in one neat package. I wouldn't mind having some books about artworks though, so I could do examples better.

Hmmm, I came 3rd in the grade for art and had none. I guess they help to some extent, but I get more out of specific artists than textbooks. Our teacher photocopies all the relevant stuff and gives them out and that's it.
