Julian Beever is an english artist who is famous for
his chalk art on pavements throughout the world.
Julian uses chalk to draw images that virtually come
to life when you look at them from the right angle.
The portraits he produces are practically realistic,
literally 3 dimensional as its disguised as an illusion.
This is what he is so well known for. Some of
Julian's artworks have been known to be so realistic
that he drew pot holes on a road and cars would
literally swerve to dodge them.
This form of street art is exceedingly creative, having
such a realistic drawing using only chalk when it is
usually only children doing pavement and sidewalk
drawings definitely makes a crowd. It lets them
wonder how he made it and leaves them wanting
more. This technique as an artist or designer is what
should be strived for. To get attention and leave people
wanting more!
I really admire Julian's works as they are inspiring,
they capture emotions and they are so well done as a
form of street art.
