FAQs about Compasses
What is a compass used for in art and design?
A compass is a drawing tool used to create precise circles, arcs, and curves. It’s commonly used in geometry, technical drawing, architecture, and mandala or pattern-based art.
What types of compasses are available for artists and designers?
There are several types, including basic compasses (for simple circles), bow compasses (for high-precision drawing), beam compasses (for large circles), and digital compasses (with angle and radius readouts). Some have attachments for pens, pencils, or ink.
How do I keep my compass from slipping while drawing?
To prevent slipping, ensure the needle point is sharp and pressed firmly into the paper. Using a drafting board or paper with a slight texture can also help. Some compasses come with non-slip pads or grips for added stability.
