Having just moved into our new home and wanting to decorate the walls, my husband and I decided to look for some ideas online. We found many sites that contained great ideas for how to use chalkboards as decorative items, but we couldn&#8217;t find any that actually featured chalkboard art. We decided there was such an interest in chalkboard art that we should start a blog on the topic. We hope you enjoy our posts!<\/p>\n<p>^^^<\/p>\n<p>The art of chalkboard painting is a fun and creative way to decorate your home, office, or classroom. Chalkboard paint can be used on any flat surface: walls, doors, windows, furniture or even the floor.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of chalkboard painting can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians who would use clay tablets with a white background and black letters to record their business transactions.<\/p>\n<p>As primitive as this may sound, the idea has evolved into the modern day chalkboard which has found its use in our homes and schools. In recent years, the popularity of chalkboards has grown immensely. Gone are the days when it was used for basic writing. Nowadays people are using their boards for all sorts of things from writing shopping lists or even leaving messages for family members to drawing artistic designs to simply writing inspirational quotes on their boards.<\/p>\n<p>Chalked Boards have even become a popular form of decorating with many benefits such as being easy to make and being able to create beautiful works of art quickly (in some cases within minutes).<\/p>\n<p>I have been doing some research on chalkboard painting and I am quite impressed with the results.<\/p>\n<p>Chalkboard painting is the new way to decorate a chalkboard. This is the step by step process for this type of art.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to follow these steps, read on. The first thing you will want to do is make sure your board is clean, and then wash it down with soap and water. If it is not totally clean, it will be hard to get the paint to stick. After that let it dry off and then wait a few days before starting your project. Then take your chalkboard painting spray paint and spray the entire board with one coat. Make sure that you are in a well ventilated area while spraying so that you do not inhale any fumes.*<\/p>\n<p>After it dries, use a rag or paper towel to rub off any excess paint. If you have an old piece of clothing that you don&#8217;t mind ruining, that would work great too.*<\/p>\n<p>Let it dry for another day or so and then use chalkboard markers to write on your chalkboard.*<\/p>\n<p>This should give you an idea about how this simple project can turn out very nice.*<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with your project.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We are a chalk art company and we specialize in creating custom chalk art for customers.

It&#8217;s amazing what<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind chalkboard art is to create a piece of art where the black chalkboard is an actual part of the finished product. Some examples from this blog include the picture below of a chalkboard painting that looks like it was drawn with chalk and the photo above with a chalkboard appearing to be a window on brownstone in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Tutorials are available for some styles, but most of them are used to create pieces that are so abstract they can&#8217;t be broken down into steps.

When people come into Starbucks, they wait in line to order their favorite drink and enjoy watching an artist create a new piece of art on the board for everyone to see. The chalkboard is also turned into a giant jigsaw puzzle by rearranging the letters and words that were previously written.<\/p>\n<p>The art created on the boards are sometimes advertisements, but more often they are simply just beautiful masterpieces that capture your attention while you&#8217;re standing in line waiting for your drink.
