Sidewalk Art!

Here is my lonely balloon collage at 5am on Friday morning. Fortunately lots of you exercised your artistic talent and so I found something much happier on Saturday morning (much later than 5am :D ) when I returned to take pictures! I found beautiful flowers, a thought provoking question, names, best friend proclamations, a friendly dinosaur, colourful peace signs, another balloon, cute thunderbolts, and a whole lot more! (To see a larger version of the picture, just click on it!) Thanks for being a part of making Anderson a little more magical!

Sidewalk Chalk!

"Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon!" -A.A. Milne
Several weeks ago I was in a small Indiana town with a few friends when on the sidewalk we noticed all kinds of small pictures, words, and initials drawn in brightly coloured sidewalk chalk. Beside the pictures was a bucket of chalk, providing an invitation to add to the fun! On a bench near the pictures sat an older man. We thought how fun it would be if that man was the one to put the chalk there, and now he was just sitting and watching, his eyes twinkling behind dark sunglasses.
Inspired both by this and the natural bent of AU students toward sidewalk chalk art:D I decided to create a mural in the Decker breezeway. Of course I left some chalk there, so that everyone can add their own beautiful touches! Later, I'll post some pictures featuring your art. So get out there and get drawing!
As always, I would love to hear your ideas or just a friendly "hi!" You can leave a comment here (you don't have to have an account to comment!) or email me at lifeinfullcolour@yahoo.com. Cheers!
