Kindergarten Chalk Pastel Spiderwebs

Any art teacher will tell you that Chalk Pastels vs. Young Artists can be a tough match! However, with some careful modeling, monitoring and let-it-go-ing, this colorful dust storm can be turned into beautiful artwork! 

Kindergarten artists used Elmer's glue to trace a spiderweb design on black paper.  After it dried, they used chalk pastels to fill in each closed shape created by the glue. 

 

Of course we started this lesson by reading Miss Spider's Tea Party by David Kirk.

Kindergarten artists made spooky spiderwebs with glue and chalk pastels.  We started by practicing drawing spiderwebs on white paper, then drew one on a piece of black paper.  Then we traced over the lines with white glue.  When the glue was dry, we used chalk pastels to fill in the rest of the page with color.  The chalk pastel (ideally) doesn't stick to the paper where there is glue.

Here is the inevitable "let's see how much chalk I can get on my hands" moment:

Spooky Spiderwebs with Glue and Chalk Pastels

Kindergarten Spiderwebs

Kindergartners used glue on black paper to draw spiderwebs. When the glue dried, they colored them with chalk pastels, making sure to blend the colors and fill the whole page.

Spiderwebs!

Kindergarten artists made spiderwebs out of glue on black construction paper.  After the glue dried, we colored them in with chalk pastels.

Here are the glue webs before they dried.

After they dried, we colored them with chalk pastels.  We used our fingers as paint  brushes to move the color around the paper.
