It’s important to figure out what you want to draw before you start! You won’t be able to erase your designs and start over with clay. Spend a few minutes practicing your drawing on paper until you can do it perfectly multiple times in a row. Working with wet hands will smudge and transfer the marker ink, especially if you’re working with watercolor markers. Make sure your hands are clean and thoroughly dry before starting. When you’re finished drawing one side or using one color, put the piece down and wait until the marker is completely dry before touching it again. Check the marker package for estimated drying times if you aren’t sure how long to wait. Continue until the piece is finished.

There are two basic parts of speech that will appear in a sentence: a noun and a verb.  A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. For example: “woman”, “Montana”, “pen”, “sadness”. A noun often appears after an article, such as “the”, “a”, or “an”, in a sentence. Nouns can also be singular or plural and can function differently within one sentence. For example: “The young man gave me a rare gift from Montana and then calmly told me he valued happiness above all else.” In this sentence, the nouns are: “man”, “gift” “Montana”, and “happiness”. A verb expresses an action, or “to be”. For example: “run”, “swim”, “jump”, “sit”, “think”. In one sentence, there is a main verb and sometimes one or more verbs that help in the sentence. The verb in the sentence must agree with its subject, so if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. Verbs can also appear in different tenses (past, present, future). For example: “The young man gave me a rare gift from Montana and then calmly told me he valued happiness above all else.” In this sentence, the verbs are: “gave” “told” and “valued”. Once you understand the two basic parts of speech, expand your knowledge to more complex parts of speech: adjectives and adverbs.  An adjective describes or modifies a noun or a pronoun. For example: “cute”, “new”, “red”, “strong”. An adjective will answer the questions: which one, what kind, or how many. Keep in mind articles, such as “a”, “an”, “the”, are classified as adjectives. For example: “The young man gave me a rare gift from Montana and then calmly told me he valued happiness above all else.” In this sentence, the adjectives are: “young” and “rare”. An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. However, adverbs never modify a noun. Adverbs usually end in “ly”. For example: “calmly”, “deeply”, “carefully”, “clearly”. In the example sentence: “The young man gave me a rare gift from Montana and then calmly told me he valued happiness above all else,” the adverb is: “calmly”. A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun in a sentence.  For example: “she”, “her”, “we”, “they”, “it”. In the example sentence: “The young man gave me a rare gift from Montana and then calmly told me he valued happiness above all else,” the pronouns are “me” and “he”. “He” replaces “man” in the sentence. The preposition and the conjunction in a sentence are the smaller terms that frame the main parts of the sentence (the noun, the verb, and the adjective).  A preposition appears before a noun or a pronoun. It will modify the noun or the pronoun in a sentence. For example: “by”, “with”, “without”, “about”, “until”, “from”. In the example sentence: “The young man gave me a rare gift from Montana and then calmly told me he valued happiness above all else,” the preposition in the sentence is “from”. A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses. It also tells the reader about the relationship between two words, phrases, or clauses. For example: “and”, “but”, “or”, “because”, “although”. In the example sentence: “The young man gave me a rare gift from Montana and then calmly told me he valued happiness above all else,” the conjunction is “then”.
