Chalk Your Walk

Thursday: Complete artwork by creating a background.  Optional: Write a short story about the animal that includes the animal’s environment and explains why the colors are bright and bold instead of realistic. Don't forget to send me a pic of your work!

For Fun: Draw a sidewalk message! Connect with your neighbors and friends by leaving them a beautiful picture, positive sidewalk chalk message, a riddle or a joke. It is a chance to make someone smile even though you can't be with them. If you don't have chalk you can make some chalk paint just by mixing corn starch, water, and food coloring together. Find the recipe here.

Wednesday: Draw chosen animal on good paper (use sketchbook paper if that is all you have) and trace with oil pastel, crayon, marker or colored pencil (use what you have). Color animal with "fauvist" colors. 

For Fun: Be a Rock Star! Find a pebble or a rock in your yard, paint it, sharpie it or write something inspirational on it and then go for a walk. Put it somewhere someone will find it. Here is a website with a lot of ideas, tips, and tricks for your rock painting.
