Common misconception
If you don’t use traditional art materials, your work won’t be taken seriously or get a high grade.
Art & Design encourages experimentation with a wide range of materials — not just pencil, paint and clay. Using unusual or personal materials can strengthen marks if they are purposeful, linked to ideas and part of a thoughtful process.
Equipment
Paints, oil pastels, digital technology, pencils, fineliners, clay, textiles, paint brushes
