For my project I wanted to basically write all over town, but not in an I-might-get-arrested kind of way so I figured side-walk chalk was the best bet. So on my journey to complete this project, I went and bought a forty pack of coloured-side walk chalk and I drove around town trying to find a place that I thought would have a lot of people to see it, but where I wouldn't be approached and told to stop, or asked what I was doing, blah, blah, blah. The place I ended up at was Kidston, an elementary school right here in Vernon, because what kind of child doesn't need a little Poe in their life? Am I right? Of course I am. There's a bunch of the cement divider things, and that's right where the kids get off the buses in the morning so I though they might see it there. I went for a Sunday so there would be less time for the rain to come in and ruin my poetry quotes.
Here are some exclusive images of my poetry-ing adventures!!
My boyfriend helped out by drawing little pictures to make it look a little more interesting. I also wouldn't recommend buying $1 chalk because it snapped every time I tried to use it. But all in all I think it was pretty successful, as there were a bunch of people that saw my chalk as they ran by, drove by, walked by, and looked across the street from their house at all the pretty poems I'd written out for their enjoyment! And I'm sure more people saw after we'd left as well, Maybe not that many though because it was starting to get a little stormy and so the chalk may have been washed away. As my little couplet in the last photo suggests!
