Chalk is for writing on a blackboard, and charcoal is used to barbeque hamburgers on the grill...right? Well, partly right. Chalk and charcoal are also art materials, great for drawing and creating mixed-media pictures. This art teaching unit from KidsArt brings you all sorts of great projects using these classic materials. Included are activities in:

Pastels and White Glue...and lots more, like chalk on black paper, a technique used in the "Night Roads" drawing below.

All KidsArt art teaching units bring you 16 reproducible pages of hands-on art activities. The projects are simple, innovative and easy to use in home or classroom settings. Because the activities are open-ended, teaching the process rather than a specific product or end result, they can be used with many different ages and stages of development, from preschool through middle school.

The KidsArt Animals unit also brings you creative projects for kids of all ages, with chalk, sidewalk chalk, pastel chalks, charcoal and charcoal pencils. ...inspiration to spark lots of great student artwork.
