Blackboard & Chalkboard Art

Information on blackboard and chalkboard art can be found under this Yellow Pages® heading. A blackboard or chalkboard is a flat surface made from slate stone, which is used for writing on. In most cases, the surface will be written on using chalk, which can then be erased with a cloth or eraser. Blackboard or chalkboard art is essentially the use of these mediums to create art. Blackboards are most commonly found in schools and are used for education purposes. They are extremely useful due to the fact that the chalk can be erased and the surface reused. They are generally written on with a piece of chalk or a piece of powdery rock. Chalk is available in most colours, but is most commonly white. Chalkboard art can range from several different types of art, most commonly illustrations. The artist draws on the chalkboard using coloured or white chalk. When complete, the artist may choose to take a picture of his / her work, or simply erase it and start over.
