Drown those pencils

 

Art therapists, be art therapists and sink these pencils into the depths of your professional consciousness.

And that’s why:

1. They give a thin and soft line, which interferes with creative self-expression.
2. They break in the most unexpected cases and interfere with the therapeutic process of immersion.
3. They need a sharpener, and this distracts and provokes non-therapeutic mechanisms.
4. They have a small color resource, which does not fill the sheet space as often necessary.
5. They do not allow you to freely change the force of pressure and the pace of drawing, you have to keep the tension in the process of interacting with the art material.
6. They do not make it possible to draw expressively, because with this active expression it is possible to damage the sheet.
