Art and Crafts - Introduction to Chalk

For Art, we used Chalk. This is the first time we use chalks. I put this off for some time as they were still very into tasting things. Though they were still tempted to do so, I managed to stop them. I think it's a good sensory material too. Y&K were quite intrigued with the powder that comes off the chalk, though K didn't really like the feel of the powder on his hands. I introduced Curved and Straight line to them with this activity. Here's their scribbles, the thick curved and straight line by me.

Art Appreciation: Street Art

Saw this book at the library and got intensely interested in 3D art. Was very impressed with what the artist did.

I suddenly recalled that there was a street art exhibition at Bugis by Joe Hill. Was utterly disappointed when I found out that the exhibition has ended just the previous day!!

Nevertheless, we still went out with our chalk and pretended to be great chalk artist in our neighborhood.

I was quite surprised to get some dirty stares when we were at it. The chalk scribbles were easily washed off with some water when we were done and the rain that comes in the afternoon left no traces behind. I think we are no where near vandalism.
