Materials- colored chalk
- black paper or matte board
- 1/3 cup (70g) sugar dissolved in 1 cup (230 ml) water
- cotton balls, optional
Art Process- Soak the chalk sticks in the cup of sugar water for five to ten minutes. This adds brilliance to the color and helps resists smudging.
- Draw on the black paper with the sugar chalk. Lines can be bold and bright or light and blurry.
- Brush chalk marks with cotton balls as an optional art technique.
Variations- Make a spooky fall drawing. The black background will make the colors seem to glow.
- Use other colors and different textures of paper.
- Paint the paper with a mixture of canned milk and liquid starch. Draw on the wet paper for a sparkling effect.
Hint: Chalk is inherently smudgy, but the sugar-water mixture will help reduce smudging. |
