Learn how to paint with sidewalk chalk with artist and educator Noreen Schroder!
Chalk Festivals have been around for decades and the original pavement art of madonnari has been around for centuries. Lately these festivals and this art form have seen a huge growth in popularity. The participation in an ephemeral piece makes it more about the act of creating than the creation itself for the artist. For the viewer, they have to connect with the piece in the moment of time that exists. This gives more of a sense of urgency and excitement. They feel like they are an important part of it, similar to an audience at live theater. Some chalk artists use a method of distorting their images to make them look 3D. This is called anamorphic art. This workshop will explore this style along with large 2D “paintings” which is the more traditional style of madonnari.
The Sidewalk Chalk Painting Workshop will take place from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on June 14th, July 12th, and August 9th. Each workshop day will offer something different — so sign up for one day, two days, or all three days! This workshop is recommended for those high school age and up.
