Sidewalk chalk Contest


 Last year Emma, Elly and Max participated in a chalk drawing contest on Bluff Street in Dubuque, Ia. So when it came up again, the kids were excited about participating in it. Besides area kids, teens, adults, they have a professional draw and scene. It is always amazing to see what artist can do with chalk! This year Emma was brainstorming ideas all week long before deciding what to draw.

Pressing hard to make it the colors shine through!

Using her fingers to shade and spread the chalk accordingly.

Finished product: Fairy Snoozy sleeping on a mushroom!

Max's drawing of a tree! 

Elly's drawing of a fairy!


Though no one won prizes this year, it was fun to see how they have each grown as an artist and to see what they learn from watching other artists!
