For the 50% improvement of literacy situation by 2015 (World Education Forum, Dakar, 2000), collective efforts are being made internationally,
regionally and nationally. However, there are still 621 million illiterates in the Asia/Pacific region, two third of which are women. Some of
the crucial issues common to most of the Asian countries that seeks for urgent solution includes lack of materials and low relevancy of
materials to huge number of NFE learners. To meet the various needs of learners with different background, materials development at
grass-root level has been strongly suggested. Yet it is the unavoidable fact that there are not always competent illustrators at district or
village level. As one of the alternatives to such difficulty, ACCU, in co-operation with UNESCO APPEAL developed the Literacy Clip Art
with the financial support of the Japanese Funds-in-Trust for Promotion of Literacy in Asia and the Pacific.
It is more than our pleasure if the Literacy Clip Art could help all those working for “Education for All” to develop their own educational
learning materials which will reach millions of unreached.
ACCU and UNESCO APPEAL would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all these friends and especially to the following persons
who have contributed their time and effort for producing the Literacy Clip Art.

Introduction
“Literacy Clip Art”(LCA) is designed to help all those
involved in developing information, education communication
(IEC) materials and educational publications including literacy
and non-formal education facilitators, school teachers, and
staff of NGO and GO offices at every level in their work.
Thanks to the close collaboration of 20 countries in Asia and
the Pacific, which participate in ACCU regional literacy
programmes, this Clip Art has come into being.

5. List of Illustrations
Literacy Clip Art in book format is to provide simple, useful
and relevant illustrations for them to prepare their own learning
materials by tracing or duplicating illustrations.
(2) District level: Material developers in NFE Centres
and above
Literacy Clip Art in CD-ROM format is to provide high
quality illustrations in digital form to be used in DTP (DeskTop Publishing) for mass production of learning materials.

How to Make Our Own Illustrations from Clip Art
First, select illustrations we want to use, referring to the list of illustrations starting from page 8 of this booklet.
Then, use the illustrations to prepare our own materials, by using illustrations as they are, imitating, drawing, and tracing.
① Use illustrations as they are, in
our learning activities to invite learners to
discuss topic in the illustration, for
example.
③ Drawing (modifying): We can also
make some changes to the original
drawing, to suit it to the learners’ context
when we imitate the sample.
② Imitating: We can make a new
drawing by imitating the sample drawing.
④ Tracing
The simple way to duplicate illustrations in this LCA is to trace the originals.
a. With common paper
(using glass and
sunlight)
1. Put the illustration on top
of the glass.
2. Put blank paper over
the illustration.
3. Hold the glass to sunlight
and trace the illustration.
b. With carbon paper
1. Place the paper with the
carbon side down on a
blank sheet of paper.
2. Then, place the illustration
facing up and trace it with
a pen/pencil.
*When tracing, it is recommended
to put transparancy included in
the LCA on top of the original
illustration in order to avoid
damaging it.
c. With thin (tracing)
paper
Place the thin paper over the
illustration and trace it. In
making materials, if the paper
is too thin to use as it is, we
can paste it on a thicker piece
of paper.
Making carbon paper
by charcoal
If we do not have carbon paper,
we can make our own, using
charcoal powder.
1. Pour black powder on the
paper.
2. Spread the charcoal over
the entire paper.
*Coloured chalk can also be used
if available.
Variety of Learning Materials We Can Make
With our innovative/creative ideas and Literacy Clip Art, we can make varieties of materials!
How to Duplicate Our Materials
We can duplicate the finished material in quantity for wider disbribution to learners in the following
ways:
① Use toshaban (mimeograph)
(2) Prepare the stencil by
tracing over the illustration
with hard tipped pen.
(5) Lift the screen then place a
pile of paper under the screen.
*When tracing, it is recommended to put transparancy included in the
LCA on top of the original illustration in order to avoid damaging it.
Materials
1. “Toshaban” machine
2. Stencil paper (Ball-pointpen stencil is commonly
used)
3. Ink, roller and ink plate
(1) Place the selected
illustration on top of the
stencil paper.
(3) Attach the prepared stencil
to the screen.
(4) Ink the screen with the
inked rubber roller. Make sure
that ink is spread evenly to all
over the stencil paper.
(6) Slowly put the screen down
on top of the paper and
carefully roll the rubber roller
once from bottom to top.
(7) Lift the screen up again to
take the printed paper out.
(8) Repeat the processes (4) through (7) until
enough number of materials are printed.
② Ask the learners to draw
illustrations in their own material
by hand-copying the originals.
Hand-made materials will be
loved by them.
③ Bring the material to the District
Education Office and ask for
photocopying.
