         2 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein each key section piece and each three-point arc section piece further comprises one or more openings. 
     
     
         3 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein a shape of the one or more openings is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         4 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a shape of the protruding portions of the key section pieces is substantially similar to a shape of the recessed portions of the key section pieces, such that the protruding portions of a first key section piece are insertable into the recessed portions of a second key section piece to form an interlocking connection. 
     
     
         5 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a shape of the protruding portions of the three-point arc section pieces is substantially similar to a shape of the recessed portions of the three-point arc section pieces, such that the protruding portions of a first key three-point arc section piece are insertable into the recessed portions of a second three-point arc section piece to form an interlocking connection. 
     
     
         6 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the key section further comprises a plurality of key section alignment pieces, wherein each alignment piece comprises an alignment indentation. 
     
     
         7 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of key section pieces and the plurality of three-point arc section pieces comprise cardboard material. 
     
     
         8 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of key section pieces and the plurality of three-point arc section pieces each comprises an identifier. 
     
     
         9 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the identifier is a letter. 
     
     
         10 . A marking apparatus comprising:
 a plurality of connectable pieces, wherein each connectable piece comprises at least one of protruding portions or recessed portions,   wherein a shape of the protruding portions is substantially similar to a shape of the recessed portions, such that the protruding portions of a first connectable piece are insertable into the recessed portions of a second connectable piece to form an interlocking connection between the first and second connectable pieces.   
     
     
         11 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein each connectable piece further comprises one or more openings. 
     
     
         12 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein a shape of the one or more openings is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         13 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the marking apparatus further comprises a plurality of connectable alignment pieces, wherein each connectable alignment piece comprises an alignment indentation. 
     
     
         14 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of connectible pieces comprise cardboard material. 
     
     
         15 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein each connectible piece comprises an identifier. 
     
     
         16 . The marking apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein the identifier comprises a letter. 
     
     
         17 . A method for drawing lines on a surface using a marking apparatus, the method comprising:
 assembling the marking apparatus comprising a plurality of connectible pieces, wherein each connectible piece comprises one or more openings and an identifier;   placing the marking apparatus on the surface;   drawing lines on the surface by tracing the one or more openings of the plurality of connectible pieces of the marking apparatus using a drawing device; and   removing the marking apparatus from the surface.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein assembling the marking apparatus comprises coupling each connectable piece of the plurality of connectible pieces to another one of the connectible pieces according to the identifier of each connectable piece. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein each connectable piece further comprises at least one of protruding portions or recessed portions. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein a shape of the protruding portions is substantially similar to a shape of the recessed portions, such that the protruding portions of a first connectable piece are insertable into the recessed portions of a second connectible piece to form an interlocking connection between the first and second connectable pieces. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein a shape of the one or more openings is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the plurality of connectable pieces further comprises a plurality of connectable alignment pieces, wherein each connectable alignment piece comprises an alignment indentation. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the plurality of connectible pieces comprise cardboard material. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the identifier comprises a letter.
