My Blog about my Chalk


This is a great thing for a blog! On warm days, I use my sticks of chalk to draw anything! I can use sidewalks, brick walls, cement, and concrete to use my great chalk! Those surfaces are my canvases! I can draw ANYTHING I feel! I can draw stuff that makes me happy! I wish the WHOLE world was my canvas for my chalk! I can draw pictures, illustrations, and words, and games and EVERYTHING, even things that make me happy! They can light up my life! A chalk "paradise!" Well, there's a lot more to it than just happy little drawings. You know what I mean? Artists draw ALL of their feelings. Not just happy feelings. Have you ever been frustrated? Sad? Or how about angry? It's OK to be angry sometimes. Angry is a "sometimes" feeling. When I draw something and it rains, the drops wipe the slate clean! Then, when it dries, I can draw new things! Rain or buckets full of water can drench the chalk and wash it away, and water can always erase it! But on chalkboards, I use an ERASER. I love using my chalk!
