As you know, one of the most beautiful and most short-lived examples of street art are sculptures, castles, drawings and other works of sand. So, we have already written about numerous competitions and festivals of sand sculpture on the pages of Kulturology.ru, and then we lamented in chorus that it was a shame that such beauty would soon be washed away by rains or pests will break. And in California's Pasadena, where the festival took place the other day Pasadena Chalk Festival, all the paintings were purposefully washed away with water. But they remained in the memory of people - and in vivid photographs. Pasadena Chalk Festival is an annual large-scale festival that brings together from 500 to a thousand artists from different parts of the country to show how skillfully they can decorate asphalt with chalk and pastel pencil drawings. This year's festival took place on June 20-21, and viewers were able to see more than 600 stunning paintings that appeared right on the sidewalk.
During the two festival days, the artists ran out of about 25 thousand crayons, but as a result, the streets of the city transformed from gray and boring to bright and positive. But alas, not for long. But next year the fun will be repeated - there is no doubt about it.
