It's a new week and today's activity is this abstract chalk picture. I love this activity as you can be as messy as you like when colouring in, but the end product will look great!
What you will need:
- paper or card (black or dark coloured paper works best as the colours stand out better)
- chalk (I used some art chalks I had, but any sort of chalk will work)
- PVA glue or a glue stick
- hairspray (not essential)
1. Firstly, the most fun part, create your patterns by squirting the PVA onto the page in different directions. I created circles, squares and triangles to create something abstract, but you could also create a face or a scene for your picture.
2. Leave the glue to dry. I left mine overnight to be sure that the glue was dry.
3. Now with your chalks colour in your picture. Where you have created the lines using the glue, you will notice that the chalk doesn't stick to it so you are left with a fun pattern.
4. Finally, if there is any chalk dust on the dried glue you can wipe it off to make it stand out even more. To stop the chalk from transferring or fading, you can use hairspray to fix it onto the paper.
Extra Suggestion:
- You could do this activity on an A4 piece of card, fold it in half and create the pattern on the front side to make a card for someone.
