Drawing Board
A drawing board is a flat, portable surface. Paper is centered on the board and held in position using small pieces of masking tape. These small pieces of masking tape temporarily secure the paper to the board.
Artists, architects, engineers and designers, use this paper on the board to design and communicate ideas.
A good, light, inexpensive drawing board can be made from 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) thick material, called Masonite also known as hardboard.
Note; Twelve drawing boards can be cut from a 4' X 8' sheet of Masonite. Three 4' x 8' sheets will give you a class set plus extra boards you as a teacher can use for demonstrations.
The size of each individual board should be cut to 15-3/4" X 23-3/4".
The cost after cutting to size should be around $100.00 for all the boards.
The surface of hardboard can be cleaned with a dry cloth but should never be washed. Washing will, over time, decay the hardness and smoothness of the drawing surface.
