Saturday, September 16 Emma participated in a sidewalk chalk drawing contest. Stacy called us that morning to see if Emma would be interested in participating in it because Elly and Max were. I packed up the girls and headed down to the Bluff Street by the 4th Street Elevator. There were many different ages of artist down there. The artist had from 8-3 to complete their pictures. There was even a professional sidewalk chalk artist there also. The kids and I couldn't believe all of the wonderful art work!
When we first got there we saw Elly's drawing of a princess and castle. She ended up winning 2nd place for the 12 and under age group.
Max's drawing of a horse!
Josie doing her drawing on the side!
Karley starting her drawing of "TESSA".
Karley's finished drawing titled, "TESSA". Later that day she added more detail to her drawing!
It took Emma a little while to think of an idea of what to draw. We first walked around and looked at the other drawings. Many of the were in the upper age group. Finally, she came up with her own idea and got started!
She learned a lot from watching the other artist also.
It was neat for people to walk by and compliment her on her work! It really encouraged her to add more detail to her work!
This was the final piece of the professional artist! It took her the full day to complete it. The girls and I were there in the morning and then went home for awhile. We came back later that day with Terry and Connor to show them Emma's drawing. This drawing wasn't finished yet at that time so the kids had a fun going back and forth checking on the progress she was making!
It was a great afternoon. We also went up the 4th Street Elevator and when we came back down the group putting on the contest served a great supper for everyone also!
