Notes
- Keep your line drawing simple.
- Before you begin using chalk pastels, consider talking about balance and contrast.
- Make sure to lay your glue drawings completely flat to dry. Most drying racks have a tilt, and the drawings will drip or smear.
- We recommend showing children how to use one finger to blend chalk pastels.
- Extra smudges can be cleaned with an eraser before spraying.
