Patriotic Chalk Art Tutorial – Celebrate Freedom

In these days from Memorial Day leading up to Independence Day, we celebrate freedom! I often think of one of our national hymns, America the Beautiful. Of course fireworks are wonderful for the new year as well. And patriotic chalk art is a fun way to celebrate creatively.

O beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain…

Music and art are the perfect combination for a patriotic celebration. You, too, can celebrate freedom with free patriotic chalk art and music lessons! I am teaming up with my good friend, Mary Prather, at Homegrown Learners. She has for you a free SQUILT patriotic music appreciation lesson – The Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa!

Featuring You! You ARE an Artist!

So, paint your patriotic art and be sure to share with us! Simply tag @chalkpastelart on social media, use the #YouAREanArtist hashtag, or upload a photo to the ChalkPastel.com Facebook page!

  • A note on chalk pastels: Pastels are an easy, forgiving medium. Fun for children and adults alike! Details on the pastels and paper we use, how and where to purchase are found in our Frequently Asked Questions section and our Favorite Chalk Pastels. A simple set is very affordable. Nana also teaches acrylic lessons.
  • The practical aspects of a mess: Pastels are blessedly messy. We always have baby wipes close by to wipe hands. We wear something we don’t mind getting stained or don a smock.

Do you and your artists learn best with a video art tutorial? Find more patriotic art and our Video Art Lessons at ChalkPastel.com! Nana shares a hymn art lesson a month with our You ARE an Artist Clubhouse members. Plus this video art course is one of many included with membership!

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.
