Answer to Question 1

In No Title (Not a single armorer . . . ), Raymond Pettibon uses brush and ink on paper. We tend to classify this type of work as a drawing because it was created on paper, is in black and white, and is largely linear in characterthat is, Pettibon used the brush largely to make lines. Pettibon used a fine brush to draw the slender, even lines of the text at the upper left and a larger brush and a looser, more varied line to create the image.

Answer to Question 2

For centuries, paper was an artisanal product, made by hand one sheet at a time and used to record historical details, as well as the medium for drawings and other artistic works. As paper became mass-produced, its uses extended to information dissemination: newspapers, books, posters, etc. During the twentieth century, artists began using paper in innovate ways: collages and sculptures are two such examples.
