This time around we went down Main Street; what a beautiful day that was! We also got our first angry response- a man told us he didn't want us putting chalk on the sidewalk in front of a building he owned. I would like to say that no harm came to the building, and the chalk all washed away in the next rain (that night, or the day after). I think it would be a different story if it was a group of small kids drawing, and I wonder why that is. Is chalk just for kids, and is it unacceptable for anyone but kids to use it for art? It's a non-permanent, non-toxic, washable material, a lot better for public spaces than spray paint. Maybe it was the drawings that were unwanted, and scattered blocks coloured would be less of a problem, but either way it will all disappear without leaving a scratch.
