On Saturday May 11, 2013, I attended the Pleasanton Chalk Art Festival – The Big Draw hosted by the city of Pleasanton. The event was colorful, creative and fun. In this event, artist from various backgrounds and experience showed their talented skills in the form of chalk art. Artist worked extremely hard to show their masterful pieces while the weather kept getting warmer. Throughout the day people walked around enjoying the various activities around the streets while taking pictures of the artist at work.
When I arrived, there were experienced and amateur artists enjoying and drawing their pieces. The streets were blocked to allow people to walk around and enjoy the drawings. The attendees were mostly families that came to enjoy a wonderful day and many had their children take part in the event by drawing. Personally, I was mesmerized by the creativity of the art and skills of the artist. Many of the drawn pieces were absolutely true works of art.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience in this eventful that allowed me to appreciate creativity and imagination in its purest and simplest form. I am looking forward to next year to come and, who knows, perhaps I might decide to join the chalk fun!
