Requirements and materials
No drawing or special skills are necessary for this course.
The suggested materials are only a guide. If you can't find any of them, be brave and experiment with whatever you have at home. For example, you can sometimes use coins and glasses instead of a circular ruler and markers instead of India ink.
That said, you do need a notebook, hard grease pencils, colored pencils or markers, black markers of varying thicknesses, some scissors, colored tempera, a rolling pin, an old tray, EVA foam or a cardboard box, old newspapers and magazines, a glue stick, colored card, a camera, a printer, pins, Blu-Tack or painter's tape, binder clips, some old clothes to avoid damaging new ones, and, finally, an adult.
