ABSTRACT
This short section includes a few very brief notes on different readily available media and their particular advantages. Only the most usual media are included here.
1. Dry Media
Pencils, crayons, felt-tip markers, etc. These are easier to control than wet or fluid media. This can be important for those with handicaps which make the mechanics of using fluid media difficult. They can also be useful for people starting off, if they are afraid to use paints and need to retain control over their medium to feel safe. On a practical level, many situations allow only dry media, e.g. home visits with materials, rooms which have to be kept clean or have no access to water, sessions which are too short to allow time to set out or clear up, and so on.
