Chalk Ghosts

Get ready for a spooky and creative Halloween art project! Students will create a charming ghost scene using chalk on black paper, learning how color can contrast against a black background. Step by step, they’ll draw and develop their ghost while adding a magical Halloween setting filled with glowing details, stars, swirls, and other imaginative elements.

Students will practice the Element of Art Value and chalk techniques including blending, layering, shading, highlighting, and creating soft glowing effects. They’ll have plenty of opportunities to experiment with color and personalize their ghost with their own creative touches. The finished artwork will be a fun and festive Halloween scene that showcases the dramatic beauty of bright chalk against black paper!
