- includes charcoal, graphite, chalks and pastels. Each of these mediums

gives the artist a wide range of mark making capabilities and effects, from
thin lines to large areas of color and tone. The artist can manipulate a
drawing to achieve desired effects in many ways, including exerting
different pressures on the medium against the drawing’s surface, or by
erasure, blotting or rubbing.

conveys a sense of movement since the elements of the composition are
