Abstract
A drawing/tracing/template apparatus (10) that can be used by an artist and/or a teacher to perform or teach various artistic tasks including basic drawing, manuscript and cursive writing, block printing, finger painting and template/block recognition exercises. The apparatus (10) is comprised of three assemblies: a template/block assembly (12), a drawing/tracing assembly (14) and a light panel/paper roller assembly (16). Each assembly may be used independently as the drawing/tracing assembly (14) may be used in combination with the light panel/paper roller assembly. Additionally, all three assemblies may be integrally attached to form a single package that allows the apparatus (10) to be easily carried and stored.
