8th week

Hello, Rough Riders!

This week we will be focusing on creating our medium. Last week, I mentioned that we would be creating our own materials at home. The medium we will be creating is chalk. Keep in mind, if you can buy chalk, that is best. However, there are many ways to create chalk at home. Below are three ways to create it at home. The recipes were taken from WikiHow. Each of the titles are clickable links to the recipe.

If not using silicone molds, wax paper, masking tape, and paper towel tubes will be needed.
