Art on chalk [Chalk Sculpture]



Today I am here with another beautiful and unique work of art i.e., Chalk Sculpture. 

Working on chalk is very tricky and has both advantages and disadvantages. Its main benefit is its softness, which makes easy to manipulate it. On the other hand, its biggest disadvantage is its structure, which tends to be very delicate. 

This  material is very brittle and dusty. However it is very much in budget, readily available, easy to work on with simplest tools and maximum detailing can be given on it. Natural or non-processed chalks are commonly used for creating chalk sculptures as they are available in variety of shapes and size is not limited.


Numerous tools can be used for chalk carving. Any sharp tool such as needle can be used.

Types of chalk carving :

1. Single piece :-


Under this method, sculpture is created using a single piece of chalk.







2. Multi-piece :-

Under this method, two or more individual chalk pieces are used to create sculptures.





In India, Artist Ramita Bhaduri is the pioneer in chalk scupture.  Sachin Sanghe is another chalk sculptor.
