"In my collage I chose yellow to represent happiness. It makes me smile when I look at it"
Pens: Broad and fine markers, biros
You don’t always need to have specialist art equipment – a biro will do. Experiment with whatever pens you have, and find out what marks they make.
Fine and broad markers, and also a biro are used here as an example.
Useful techniques include “hatching” (drawing lots of parallel lines to look like shade) or building up a texture with dots or random marks. Both these techniques are included above.
- Try some marks with pens – how do you like the feel of each pen compared with pencils and charcoal?
