Talk:Sidewalk chalk

Untitled

This sounds like an advertisement for Crayola. We don't need anecdotes about how a school teacher integrated Crayola products into his classroom to help students learn, or the cost of Crayola chalk. Trombonechamp (talk) 02:50, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

chalk is ...

There reads: chalk (calcium sulfate)
However, chalk article tells it to be calcium carbonate, not sulfate. Should this be changed or can it also refer to calcium sulfate? 85.217.43.203 (talk) 12:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

That's partially true: the chalk article says that the name can also refer to "other compounds including magnesium silicate and calcium sulfate." If 'chalk' always meant the same material, we wouldn't need to disambiguate by specifying calcium sulphate. No harm in clarifying on the article though. Kevin McE (talk) 17:48, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Chalk article has this: Sidewalk chalk is similar to blackboard chalk, except that it is formed into larger sticks and often colored. It is used to draw on sidewalks, streets, and driveways, mostly by children, but also by adult artists.
I don't know about American schools, but my school had at least five colors apart the white one. But, I just noticed blackboard article's section "chalk" has this: See also: Sidewalk chalk. So, sidewalk chalk is actually blackboard chalk? 85.217.43.203 (talk) 20:18, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

From Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell

“Pavement artists buy their colours in the form of powder, and work them into cakes in condensed milk”

Excerpt From Down and Out in Paris and London George Orwell

He described how the artist works, how much they make, what are the best days to work. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:1C0B:ADF1:FACA:F6FA (talk) 15:59, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
