REFLECTION

 * REFLECTION Sometimes people don't acknowledge street art as a real art form. Works like graffiti and posters are seen throughout the streets but people don't credit it with any worth. While I researched on street art, 3D chalk drawings really stood out because the artists are taking a really simplistic medium and creating masterpieces on a grand scale. Drawing with chalk on the sidewalk is nostalgic, and many people can agree that it's an activity they've done as kids. However, the artists are mixing this medium with recreations of objects and paintings of past masters (Da Vinci, Michelangelo, etc), creating a truly artistic piece of work. If you are watching them paint it live, you get to be part of the experience of the creation. There's a curiosity in how it will turn out and the anticipation of the completed work. So much of the artwork is also the process.

In order for something to truly stand out and spread on the internet, it has to have some sort of cultural significance. It has to stand out against the thousands of images existing on the web. Images of 3D chalk drawings are mesmerizing because of its complexity and it's ability to trick the human mind. But they're done using plain chalk that almost everyone is familiar with. This has added to the digital culture and companies are aware of it. Advertisers are likely to adapt to anything viral online, and this is no exception. Large companies are commissioning 3D artists to create pieces for marketing and advertising.
