Task 2: Check me out!
Most of you started drawing when you were young. Back then, materials and
tools were not that important to you. Perhaps, you weren’t even considered it to
make an artwork.
But as you grew and developed as artists, the materials and tools that you
chose became more important. The connection between quality art materials and
quality artwork becomes noticeable along the way and it’s no wonder that emerging
artists desire to have the very best materials possible.

There are a variety of special tools, equipment and materials are used in Arts
and Design some of those are often expensive and require proper handling and care.
As an artist possessing these tools, materials, and equipment are responsible for
making sure that all things are handled carefully, stored properly and not wasted.
All the craftspeople and artist create objects and designs by using a variety of
tools, equipment and materials in creative ways. Because these materials come in a
huge range of colours, textures, strengths, flexibility levels, costs and availability
levels. Some materials require the use of specific tools and equipment in order to
work with them.

SPECIFICATION OF BASIC MATERIALS, TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND PROCESSES
Dry materials, e.g., pencils and charcoal, can be used separately or in various
combinations. Mixing media often produces richer surfaces and more complex
drawings. Try using several dry media together or using wet and dry together.
(http://www.learnalberta.ca)
1. Pencils
Pencils are made of a graphite or plastic lead stick, surrounded by a wood casing.
Medium
https://www.google.com
Soft pencils are graded with the letter B and numbered from B to 6B. The
larger the number before the B, the softer the pencil material. Soft leads are often
used for sketching and shading because they are generally darker and easier to
manipulate.
Hard pencils are graded with the letter H and numbered from H to 6H. The
larger the number before the H, the harder the pencil material. The hardest leads are
used to create sharp, clear lines; e.g., those in drafting or architectural drawings.
Page 7 of 30
2. Pencil Crayons
Coloured pencils may be used to draw fine, coloured lines or to shade areas
in colour. A variety of coloured pencils are available and the craftsperson or artist
can be creative in mixing and matching different colours, blending two or more
colours or using coloured pencils with other drawing or painting materials.
https://www.google.com
3. Charcoal
Charcoal is the oldest drawing tool. It is a dry and dusty medium made from
burnt wood. Charcoal for craft and art purposes is found in many forms; e.g., pencil,
compressed sticks or natural sticks.
Oil pastels are a form of chalk that has been compressed with oil. All chalks
and oil pastels come in a wide range of colours. A variety of soft, blended effects can
be obtained by layering several colours and using brushes, cloth or paper to blend.
https://www.google.com
Page 8 of 30
Wet Materials in Making Marks
Wet materials, e.g., ink and paint, can be used separately or in various
combinations. Mixing media often produces richer surfaces and more complex
drawings.
Felt pens or markers are excellent for layout and design and can be used in
some poster work. They come in a wide range of colours and line thicknesses. They
have the disadvantage of being transparent and are difficult to use when large, flat
areas of colour are needed. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com
India ink is a simple black ink commonly used for drawing, especially comics
and comic strips. Other inks are found in a variety of colours. All inks can be used full
strength or diluted for wash drawings. A variety of tools are used to apply ink; e.g.,
nib pens, fountain pens, brushes, feathers, rollers and sticks and twigs.
(http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com
3. Paints
There are different types of paint and have specific properties. Artists may
choose a particular type of paint based on the colours and effects it produces, its
drying time, the painting surface they want to use and other factors.

1. Pens
1.1 Ballpoint pens - are the regular ink pens that we normally use for day-to-
day writing. Ballpoint pens are used for drawing and shading, but care must be taken
to control the pressure used. Too much pressure may result in an unwanted blob of
ink on the drawing surface. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com
https://www.google.com
1.2 Felt-tipped pens - are commonly used by artists. A wide range of colours
is available and the artist can blend colours to create different effects. By controlling
the pressure used, the artist can create shading and hard or soft lines.
(http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
1.3 Fountain pens and lettering pens - are used for general drawing,
sketching or calligraphy. Fountain pens contain a reservoir of ink that must be
replaced or refilled periodically. Lettering pens are used with a bottle of ink—the
artist dips the pen nib into the ink whenever necessary. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
Lettering Pens
https://www.google.com
https://www.google.com
Page 11 of 30
1.4 Technical pens - are similar to fountain pens. They have a tube-like, hard
nib that can be used both for sketching and for producing detailed drawings.
Technical pens are available in a variety of line widths and have refillable or
replaceable reservoirs. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com
1.5 Nibs for pens - come in various sizes and shapes, from small and thin to
wide and flat. The nib can be filled by dipping about one half of the point into a bottle
of ink, or the ink can be applied to the nib with a liquid dropper. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
2. Brushes
Good paintbrushes can be the artist’s and craftsperson’s most important tools.
Brushes come in a wide variety of materials in terms of shapes and sizes.
They are made of a fibrous tip, connector called a ferrule and wooden or plastic
handle. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com
Page 12 of 30
Fibres Ferrule Handle
• Animal hair fibres have tiny scales that hold water and paint. Each hair has a
tapered shape which makes for a better tip. Sable is considered to be the best
natural hair paintbrush.
The ferrule is the metal or plastic part of the paintbrush that holds the fibers
and connects them with the handle. Most ferrules are nickel-plated to prevent rust.
The size of a paintbrush is measured based on the width of its flattened ferrule. .
3. Rollers
Large paint and small printing rollers (brayers) are used for commercial
purposes and to make marks for artistic purposes. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
Stomps and tortillons are sticks used for blending charcoal, conte crayons, oil
pastels and chalk. They are usually made of paper that has been wrapped or twisted
into the shape of a pencil or a stick. Q-tips, wadded pieces of tissue or paper can
also be used. (http://www.learnalberta.ca)
Page 13 of 30
https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
5. Airbrush
https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
6. Palette Knife
A palette knife is used both to mix oil and acrylic paints and to apply paints to
a painting surface.
https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
7. Found Objects
A wide variety of
found objects can be used
to apply materials to make
marks. Look for unique or
unusual man-made and
natural objects.
https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
Page 14 of 30
Materials Used as Surface on Which to make Marks
Almost any type of wet or dry material can be used as a painting or drawing
surface, depending on the material and the agent used to thin the paint or cleanse a
painted surface. Most surfaces need a special coating of paint or primer to prevent oil
paint from seeping into the surface material.
Safety Note:
Oil-based paints, thinners and cleaners must be
used only in a well-teacher/supervisor.
1. Paper
1.1 Paper Weight - Craftspeople and artists must consider the thickness or
weight of the paper. Paper is weighed based on a ream, is a bundle of 500, 65 cm x
72 cm sheets. If the ream weighs 65 kg, we know that each of the 500 sheets is fairly
thick and heavy. If the ream weighs 35 kg, each sheet is thinner.
1.2 Paper Surface - Each type of paper has a different texture and
appearance. A pencil or charcoal drawing created on paper with a rough surface
would look somewhat different from the same drawing created on smooth paper.
Page 15 of 30
1.3 Paper Colour - Some types of paper come in only one colour while others
come in a wide range. Depending on the wet or dry material used, the colour of the
paper will show through to different extents.
Rag paper is still considered the best surface for painting with water colours. It
lasts longer and stays whiter than cheaper grades of paper made from wood pulp. In
modern papermaking, various ingredients may be added.
• Alum is used to settle out impurities but may add too much acid for
good art paper.
Through learning and practical experience, artists and craftspeople are able to
determine the most suitable paper or card to use for each design.
