Remember that time when in your child hood you used to draw on the sidewalk with colored chalk? or when you used to draw on the chalk board at school with them? Around the eighteen hundred's when people practiced creating art on the sidewalks it was called "screever" art. screever is a British term for pavement artist.
The origins of modern street paintigs can be traced all the way to Britain.
pavement artistswere found all over the UK and by the eighteen ninty'sthere were five hundred or more artists making a full time living from street art just in london alone.
Usually people creat art in 3D to make a more amazing effect to draw in order to sucssesfuly draw in the viewers, but they can also draw in 2D pictures on the pavement almost as good. In the pictures in the website at www.wikipedia.org /street painting.com or at www.amazing 3d street artist.com the artists tracy lee stum, eduardo relero and kurt wenner made their art work look real, and one of the effects created is that the art looks like it could jump off the ground, and you would probably think that you coul run right into them.
I think that chalk art is cool and I belive that it could be considered real art even though its not permanent. To me chalk art is a good turist attraction, and connects people to their child hood.
In the web site it says "Artists like Kurt Wenner, Eduardo Relero and Tracy Lee Stum create street art that is so incredible it is almost impossible to pass by without being sucked in to the worlds they create on asphalt and concrete surfaces". when I first seen one of their works like the soda bottle it was hard to tell if it was real or an image on the street in chalk.
While the art created is realy amazing it does take quite a few hours to create at least one piece of work depending apon the size of the work. And most of the time the pavement creations do become tourist attractions.
