$12.42 for 500 pages. $0.025 cents per page. Freaking. Amazing. This paper is thick enough to have some real substance to it. I use them to create animation flip cards, as well as for color pencil drawings. Really, a great deal. Stop using printer paper. Get this. It has a textured side and a smooth side so whatever you're into, you can use this to draw. Also it's almost like a challenge. I feel like once I get through all 500 sheets I will be a substantially better artist.
I should add though, this paper is still too thin for watercolor. It does okay with dry on dry, but if you add too much moister (or paint over something twice), expect this product to warp significantly.

Keep Students Engaged with Art IntegrationRecent studies have shown that when art is incorporated into mathematics and science programs, the ability to comprehend and retain information improves. Art integration can help students develop a higher understanding of math or science concepts by partnering them with an engaging creative element. |
Promote Creativity and Communication with Group Art ProjectsInspire students to work toward a common creative goal with a group art project. Art collaboration will help students develop communication, problem solving and process creation skills. It builds confidence, encourages creativity and teaches the importance of working as a team. |
Art Thrives for Students of All AbilitiesArt programs make it easy for students of all abilities to work together successfully. The additional avenues of communication opened by collaborative art may make it easier for educators to understand and develop individualized strategies for their students with special needs. |

The magic of having fine materials available to you!
By Great Cook on December 13, 2016
I was a professional artist for over 30 years and when I met a friend's daughter, an amazingly talented young lady of 8 with a remarkable gift, I couldn't help but feel a deep need to encourage that talent. I remember when I was much younger, there was nothing like a room full of freshly stretched canvases to get my creative juices flowing! Good materials are essential to creating your best work. When I found this paper on Amazon, 500 sheet of fine artist's paper, I had to buy it for her. She was so thrilled and the next morning her mother sent me a wonderful thank you email with the first results on the new paper. As I said, having good materials at your disposal is like an aphrodisiac you can't resist just diving in and creating. These are 3 oil pastels my little friend did, as soon as she got home that day. She has an amazing talent for one so young. It's thrilling to behold. One important thing I would like to reiterate, is having quality supplies available to you, makes all the difference in the world. When I picked out her oil pastels, also on Amazon, I made sure they were for professional artists and didn't have the word kid or student or beginner on them, if someone truly has talent, it's important to respect that amazing gift in every way possible!

Very nice paper, IF NOT WRINKLED
By KT on December 4, 2015
I've ordered this paper twice, and the first time I was very happy with it. This really is great paper, nice thickness, perfect for my drawing needs. It is also a very good price for 500 sheets, compared to the cost of spiral-bound books or pads of drawing paper. However, the last time I ordered it, every third sheet was wrinkled - 167 of 500 sheets! And I don't mean just a little wrinkle, a huge 3D fold across the entire page, like the sheet got rolled through a machine wrong. I've provided photos to show what this looks like. In addition to the big obvious fold, there were also slightly more subtle streaky folds across the affected sheets. It must have been a problem with only part of the machinery, because the other 333 sheets in my ream were perfectly fine, interspersed with the wrinkled sheets (2 perfect, 1 wrinkled, 2 perfect, 1 wrinkled...). Order with caution, as the quality of this product may be hit-or-miss.
