Pastel Pandas

Chalk pastels are perfect for creating the fuzzy fur of a cute panda. We lightly drew the panda together in lead pencil, choosing to have the panda resting along a branch on the ground. Then we used chalk pastel to fill in the colours, and spread it around with our fingers. I like to have baby wipes handy to clean our hands as we go. These panda drawings are so great!

And look at all the other fantastic designs made using pastels during free-drawing time! 

Art Adventures - Hong Kong

Welcome to week 2! This Art Adventure is inspired by Hong Kong, where I stayed for two days on my way to Finland.  

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
Dark-coloured paper (black, blue, purple etc)
White or coloured chalk - or - chalk pastels 

Using dots and lines only, no colouring-in, can you make a scene of Hong Kong at night (like the photo above)? Think about adding lines or swiggles for reflections in the water, the outlines of boats and all of the different-shaped lights of the city skyline.

If you want to show your art to the world, email me a photo of your art at: daisiesn@yahoo.com.au and I might feature it on the blog! Please include your name and age, and any info about the work you'd like to share.
