Teacher's information
Pomůcky pro práci v semináři: Papíry - pro přípravné kresby tužkou stačí i obyčejný kancelářský papír, pro finální kresby tuší je nutný kvalitní papír, na kterém se tuš nerozpíjí (pauzák nebo křídový papír). Tužky - doporučuji mikrotužku 0.5 mm, tuhu HB, + vhodnou gumu. Na finální kresby a) technická pera (např. CENTROGRAF, aspoň 2 tloušťky - např. 0.25 a 0.35 mm) a tuš pro technická pera (dobrý je např. Rotring, Staedtler) nebo b) obyčejné kovové namáčecí pero + černá tuš nebo c) černé dokumentační mikrofixy (doporučuji sadu CENTROPEN DOCUMENT - 0.1 + 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.7 mm). Pravítka a trojúhelníky, kružítko. Podle možnosti dále: posuvné měřítko ("šupléra"), "hřeben" na snímání profilů. Hodí se také šablona různých průměrů kružnic a několik pravoúhlých krabiček nebo kostek.
