Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival


Sidewalk Art at Roane State
Originally uploaded by tink927.
Saturday morning we went to the art festival at Roane State Comm. College, here in Oak Ridge. We got there really early, so a lot of the artists had just started their drawings. Each square was about 4' by 4'. It was about 55 degrees. I felt sorry for the folks whose squares were in the shade, but it felt really nice out in the sun.

I always loved the chalk art festival. I am in awe and discust of a talent that discriminates against left handers. I remember as a child when all my little friends would draw on the street with chalk, and I would smear what would have been amazing masterpieces - the kind they would dub me as a child prodigy for - because I would smear chalk up to my neck. All I remember is watching the colors swirl down the drain as I took a shower to look human again.

I can't write on chalk boards either (insert showing my age here: ___ ). It was always so embarrassing in grade school. They also thought I was retarded because my writing was that of a 2 year old on the chalk board. All of the left handed kids out there are thankful for pooters... it levels the playing field.

Had it not been for chalk I would have a phd from Yale, and I would have already achieved world domination.

END TIRADE!
