Age Range: Elementary to Middle School
Time: 2-3 Class Periods
Difficulty: Moderate
Cleanup: Soap & Water

General Materials:

12x18" Assprted Color Construction Paper

Paint Brush

Plastic Bowl

	Step 1: Mix approximately four parts glue and one part water in a plastic bowl. Brush the thinned glue onto the whole sheet of 12x18" construction paper and then sprinkle blue sand (or a different cool color) evenly over the entire background. Allow glue to dry
	Step 2: Decide where to add the first part of your design. Brush on or "draw" your design with the glue. Evenly sprinkle green sand (or a different cool color) onto the glue. Allow glue to dry completely. Remove any extra sand.
	Step 3: Decide where to add the second element of your design. This time use a warm color of sand (like yellow or orange). Repeat the rest of Step 2 using your chosen color.
	Step 4: Decide where to add the third element of your design. Red "pops" the most, so it is a great choice for the foreground, pink also works well. Repeat the rest of Step 2 using your chosen color.
	Step 5: Next, draw in details with the square chalk pastels. Add highlights with the Crayola 3D Sidewalk Chalks.
	Step 6: View the drawing with the 3D glasses that are included in the Crayola 3D Sidewalk Chalk Set. Note: Any chalks will work with the 3D glasses that come in the Crayola set.
	Optional Tip 1: The Science of 3D: Warm colors, especially red, appear high or "pop," while cool colors, especially blue, seem low or "recede." Use Crayola's 3D glasses to see how the colors look!
	Optional Tip 2: For permanence and brilliance, spray the drawing with workable fixative.
