Primitive Art



Ridge and Holt, as you can see, have been having a lovely time decorating our driveway with sidewalk chalk. I thought I snap a few shots of it before the rain washes it away. The main photo here is of Ridge’s name. He’s got the “R” backwards, but the rest is pretty good, I think! He even wrote a small “e”, though I don’t know why (or how he learned it).

This is a general overview of the area.
Overview

Here you can see how Ridge discovered what happens when you add chalk and water. He began to color a small area very heavily with chalk. Then he added water. I thought the handprints in the street were pretty funny.
Hands

Soon, hands weren’t enough and he progressed to feet. I love how you can see where he stepped in the chalk and walked out, leaving his little white prints behind him.
Feet

By the way, I am aware that the links I posted for two short videos aren’t working. I’m trying to figure out what the problem is and I’ll let you know when they are viewable.
