Budding Japanese student artists impress us with chalkboard works of art

Give any kid a piece of chalk, and they’re likely to draw some quick doodles on the board. Some stick figures; the logo of some group or team they’re especially fond of; perhaps even a wang or two if there are no adults around. But some kids will use that same piece of chalk to create veritable masterpieces that are so good, you’ll never want to erase them.

You won’t want to miss this collection of impressive chalk art after the jump! Here’s celebrating the talented work of artistic Japanese students.

Although many schools around the world have switched to using whiteboards or even electronic SmartBoards, Japanese public school classrooms are still typically equipped with blackboards. The resulting dust may make for a messy floor, but the versatile nature of chalk as an art medium sure is good news for any young, aspiring artists.

The following chalk illustrations by Japanese students were drawn for school festivals, graduation ceremonies, or just for fun. They depict a wide range of subject matter, from Studio Ghibli and Disney characters to replicating actual masterpieces of art. While some of them took only a few minutes and others took a few days to complete, all of them have worked their way into our hearts. Enjoy!

ONE PIECEの片腕あげてる仲間の印の場面を黒板に書くやつあるじゃん。
あれ誰が書いたのかもわからないと「すごー」ってしかならんけど。
中3の時の美術の先生が卒業する教え子のためにチョークまみれになって書いたってなると感動する。 pic.twitter.com/dHYg8CrHQk
