Project Goal: Create an image spreading a positive message in your neighborhood using chalk you have or if you can try the recipe for sidewalk chalk paint found here.
If you don’t have access to these materials any image of support and hope made with whatever materials you do have is good too!
Your image could:
- Say something emotionally supportive to people passing by
- encourage good behaviors like social distancing or mask wearing
Warning: make sure that you do this somewhere you have permission to do so!
My Example
Sidewalk Chalk Recipe
- add 1 cup of water to 1 cup of cornstarch.
- Mix until there are no clumps of cornstarch
- Next add a few drops of food coloring and mix until blended.
Warning: depending on what you use for color these could be staining so watch out & test first!
Sometimes the most beautiful art can come from the hardest of cercomstances. The Covid-19 pandemic had lead to both terrible hardships for people all over the world and to beautiful and powerful artworks spreading messages of hope, health, and healing.
