Supply List:

Chak Pastels

Black Paper

Elmers Glue

Pencil

Hair Spray/Or Fixatif

Black Sharpie

Position paper vertically

Begin 4 inches from the bottom of the paper

Using pencil, draw vase and fill it with flowers (avoid fine details)

Using pencil, draw vertical line (vase middle)

Once your vase and flowers are drawn add glue to the pencil lines.

Make sure the glue is completely dry (mine took 24 hours)

Using chalk color in the areas

Use finger to blend and mix the color

I recommend having a damp paper towel next to you at all times (wipe fingers and keep the colors fresh)

Once I was done with the chalk I used a black sharpie to define the chalk lines. you don’t need to do this- just a suggestion.

I also used Workable Fixatif to adhere the chalk and prevent staining. (you can use aerosol hairspray instead)

Supply List

40 4" Stretched Canvas

1 24x36 Stretched Canvas - I bought white and painted it black

Assorted Acrylic Paints

Paint Brushes

Water

Pencil

Eraser

Paper Towels

Liquid Masking Fluid

Hot Glue Gun

The first step is to lay your canvases out- flip them over and label them 1-40

Step two- draw your city and details.

Step three- use liquid masking to go over all pencil lines (using liquid masking is a must with this project)

Helpful tip- douse your paintbrush in water then dish soap prior to the liquid mask- this will save your paintbrush! (liquid mask is a glue and will ruin your paintbrush)

Step 4-  work one on one with each student.  They should each have at least one canvas to paint.  Once they are done painting remove the liquid mask. Fill in necessary gap.

After all the students painted at least one canvas I painted the 24x36 canvas all black and had them sign their names on the back.  I mounted each canvas using a hot glue gun to the 24x36 canvas.
