These examples of chalk art highlight how intensely striking this medium can be.
Often found on sidewalks and city streets, this form of art tends to be particularly impressive. Though not able to be sold like traditional masterpieces, these creations have a temporal quality that makes them more elusive than the average illustration. Often making amazing use of shading and color, chalk art is a captivating form of expression, and often affords its creators plenty of attention. A decidedly specific skill with incredible results, this medium is offbeat in the best way possible.
Incorporating optical illusions on a large scale, chalk art has been the choice of some of the most inventive artists of all time. Sure to keep pleasing bystanders everywhere, these examples of chalk art are only a fraction of what can be found.
