Pencils Art Smart

In this episode, I explored the most commonly used and probably least thought about art material, the pencil. Have you ever wondered why we call the core of a pencil lead even though it is graphite? Have you ever wondered how they get that graphite rod into the middle of a pencil, or what those letters and numbers on the pencil mean? I talked to Becky Trudeau from Dixon Ticonderoga to learn all about it.
