The Wonderful World of 3D Chalk Art
Welcome to some awesome examples of 3D Chalk Art.
3D chalk art is created using a projection technique called anamorphosis. When viewed from a particular angle, this technique creates the illusion of 3D - in a most effective way. When viewed from the wrong angle, it looks like crap. I think this is a pretty amazing art form created with only a packet of chalk. From the imagination comes some wonderful things.
That laptop by the way, isn't really there...it's chalk.
1) Riverstreet River Waterfall - Edgar Mueller
Edgar Mueller was born in Mülheim, Germany and developed a fascination with painting at an early age. He won his first street painting competition at age 19 and eventually earned the title of Master Street Painter.
The street painting seen below was around 280 m² which is Edgar Mueller's largest project. The painting was done for Prairie Art Festival in Moose Jaw, Canada. The street actually had the name of "River Street".
Nearly 1000 Square feet, this Mural takes up an entire block.
8) Dies Irae - Kurt Wenner
Kurt Wenner is a Master Artist and Master Architect famous for inventing three-dimensional pastel drawings. Also known as: 3D Street Painting, 3D Pavement Art, 3D Chalk Art, or 3D Sidewalk Art, they are a form of anamorphic art.
This amazing street painting, called Dies Irae, was created by Kurt Wenner in a medieval town square in Italy.
14) Cityscape - Julian Beever
