Chalk It Out

Project Proposal:
In my own personal opinion, I believe that Chalk is a unique and beautiful medium in art, that is not used as often as I would like to see. So I thought, what better way to publicize this favored medium of mine, than on a campus filled with thousands of students?!
I want a piece of art that will attract all those who walk past it. I want it large, noticeable and impossible to walk past without wanting to be involved. I figured chalk would be a simple way to promote this because everyone is familiar with it, and hopefully no one will be intimidated this 'art' because it is a friendly activity that is easily approachable. I figured it would be hard to have the University approving of a student to paint chalk onto their walls, so I will resort to either the old fashion chalk 'board' or adhesive chalkboard stick on's.

Medium/Vehicle: Chalkboard Wall on campus, whether a small section on a wall, or by a bulletin board with access to chalk for the audience to participate.
Content/Message: To anonymously express one's thoughts, ideas, words & inspirations on a board to ultimately build an impact/connection on another viewer and/or participant.

  1. Hi Kelsey.
    As we discussed your new proposal last Thursday, I challenge you to find the "art" part of the project. Also, while I do agree that chalk is a beautiful medium, and ties into the "broadcast" theme well, I don't see a use of "new media" here. Please have your idea developed by Thursday class. I was out sick today, but we will have critique next Tuesday.
