Design is the Unimaginable

     Surprisingly, these images were created from chalk. It is spectacular how such an ordinary medium can be used to transform a sidewalk into a whole eye opening experience. These 3-D images are drawn straight onto the ground using strict technique and amazing talent. Once it is finished, you must place yourself accordingly to see the finished project as a 3-D image, like the ones above.  At any other angle it may seem un-proportional and bizarre. However, once you approach the artwork at a certain angle the chalk creates a magical 3D illusion.  Design is not only something to appreciate, but something to experience. These sidewalk designs attract many onlookers, and allow people to help finish their artwork. If placed correctly it can look as though you are part of the 3D image. Design becomes more active and entertaining when you are able to participate. Not only that, but  these sidewalk designs are not only amusing, but remarkable discoveries that can transform  many nonbelievers. Chalk is used a vehicle of discovery and an opportunity for outsiders to enter the mind- blowing world of design.
