Congratulations to eleven-year-old, Wesley of Provo, Utah for his First-Place Winning drawing in our Chalk the Walk contest. He put in his personality into the work and managed successfully to work around a couple of flaws in the pavement. They ran out of chalk and the stores were out so they had to order some online.Lottie is the second place winner. She is eleven and said, “This art project is to symbolize the pathway to my own sacred grove, -my home- where I can feel and recognize the spirit.”Carter (age 7), Madilyn (age 5) and Abigail (age 3) recieved third place and wanted to show their personal vision of the first vision. These three are the youngest participants. They also used # gotothegrove5k.Dave and Miranda Montijo had the smartest project. Miranda said, “My husband knows I love sunflowers so he decided to get a picture of a sunflower off the internet, do mathematical calculations to get plot points, and then recreate the picture with those plot points so we could draw and chalk a 30 foot diameter Sunflower in our court.”The family favorite. Ashley, Sarah, Anna, Emily, and Mary Jensen said they “LOVE playing games as a family!
Monopoly is one of our favorites! We spent the afternoon drawing and coloring, listening to music and eating snacks! We ran out of black and white chalk so we used burned bits of wood from our fire pit for black and scraps of sheet rock to fill in for white. It worked great!
This chalk art is brought to you by the girls in the family…the boys were teasing so they got kicked off the project! 😁”Zachary (age 9) was one of the children who had to wait to find chalk. He did a great job maintaining the theme of Go to the Grove.Riley (age 9).Cameron is 9 years old.
