More Summer Chalk Art

 Violin music and a starry city night

Tardis

Daisy has added art to the front walk but we haven't always taken pictures.  I did take some pictures and thought I should put them up before the rain (that's suppose to come this week) washes away the latest works.

More notes for art history



Finalizing preparation for AP Art History


Results? We won't find out the scores until summer is well underway. Now she has three classes that will still meet and study and learn even though the main tests are over for her Art History, Euro and English AP classes. At least there is less pressure now and she can devote a bit more time to physics and pre-calc!

Spring Chalk Art 2

The sidewalk art has taken a different look as tests loom on the horizon:


The above is from note cards for AP Art History.


These next two (top and bottom pictures) (including the views of women) are from AP Euro.


Finally we have a contribution about the water cycle, cloud types and rocks.
They are all preparing for testing in the weeks to come.

Spring chalk art

Who are the chalk artists in your life? Now's the perfect time to have them show off their craft!

First up is a medley of musical notes from Daisy:



Second we have a happy hippo in blue by Hedgehog:

So get some chalk, find an available sidewalk, and locate a patch of sun to get started on your own concrete creativity!

According to Crayola, their sidewalk chalk is made from Plaster of Paris and color pigments.
Amazing how a couple of simple ingredients result in a drawing medium of fun.
Along with friendly sayings and interesting spatial designs we've been seeing a lot of horse drawings thanks to Sarah.
After she drew this picture I knew I had to take a picture or it would be lost to water and/or wear.
Apparently chalk drawings can live on and still be rewarding even when the original is gone thanks to modern technology.
Although abstract expressionism sums up the majority of the sidewalk art at our home we have found that the art we make with chalk is a gift for young and old alike.
Allow yourself to enjoy some art this week-from the abstract to the detailed whether man-made or natural.
