chalk art

Drawings on concrete

Chalk art is drawing or illustration created with chalk, typically on pavement, sidewalks, or blackboards.

Street artists create elaborate temporary murals on public surfaces, while simpler versions appear in children's sidewalk drawings.

The medium's impermanence—washed away by rain or foot traffic—is part of its character: The rain destroyed three days of chalk art.
