Neon Art, Materials: Chalk Pastels

Get ready to glow! This week we’re focusing on Neon Art, where you’ll get the chance to illuminate your creativity as we explore the vibrant, glowing world where artistry meets electrifying colors! Neon Art is a form of visual art that utilizes neon lighting to create eye-catching artwork. First used in urban environments such as NYC and Las Vegas, neon signs became iconic symbols of nightlife and entertainment. Artists like Dan Flavin, Bruce Nauman, and Keith Sonnier incorporated neon tubes into their minimalist artworks. Today, neon art continues to evolve as artists explore new techniques, technologies and concepts. This week, we will explore a fun technique using chalk pastels to capture the vibrant glow of neon signage and imagery!
