Chalk is a very versatile art material!
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use chalk in lots of different ways, to get different effects into your artwork. Try rubbing a ruler along a stick of chalk. It'll produce a pile of chalk dust. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dab a ball of cotton wool into the dust... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...then dab or wipe it onto a picture. It gives a really delicate, fluffy cloud effect. Perfect for skies! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want a quick way of colouring in a large block of colour, just turn a piece of chalk on its side... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...press down, and you'll get a wide strip of colour. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
For hard lines, use the sharp edge on the end of the chalk. And if the end is too blunt... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...simply snap the chalk in two to produce a brand new sharp edge - perfect for small detail! Try it yourself! |
