Artist EaselsArtist easels are designed to support an artist's canvas, board, or paper, and are available in a variety of styles, sizes, and materials. Most easels, except those designed for display purposes, are working easels. These art easels can be used for all types of drawing and sketching as well as for oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting. Sketching easels and box easels are portable and easy to carry outdoors, while studio easels, meant for indoor use, are usually heavier. Studio easels may also have wheels for easier movement. Table easels save floor space and allow the artist to easily work at a table.
Some art easels have adjustable legs and canvas trays, enabling artists to customize work surface heights and angles to their liking. For instance, watercolor painting often requires a horizontal surface. Pastel artists need an easel that tilts forward so the dust will not fall back on the artist's work. (An easel with multiple tilt settings is ideal for pastel work.) An oil painter may need an easel that is more vertical, so dust will not settle on the painting while it is drying.

Presentation EaselsHow often have you been called to present the results of a project or an idea you have researched? You need a method to present your findings in an organized manner so that everyone can see your graphs, charts, and drawings. Easels are ideal for presenting this sort of information in boardrooms, classrooms, and small group settings. Presentation easels are available in a variety of styles and writing surfaces. A flip chart easel may have a paper pad for writing. Or you may choose a dry erase or fabric tack board surface. Some rotate between two different sides or have magnetic surfaces. Whatever choice you make, presentation easels make it easier to present your information to your audience.This Toastmaster article provides some valuable insights concerning the use of flip charts and marker boards as presentation tools.
Easels For ChildrenTeachers use children's easels as an instructional aid and children use them for drawing and painting pictures. Children's easels are available with large paper pads or with flannel board, magnetic board, whiteboard, or chalkboard surfaces. They may have storage spaces for felt cutouts, magnetic letters, markers, and accessories. Other easels hold sheets of paper for drawing or painting. Child size easels adjust to children's heights, and may include double sides or even 3 or 4 sides for multiple artists.The New Jersey Department of Education offers guidelines for the use of art easels in preschool classrooms.
