Tracy Lee Stum is an American artist best known for her 3D street paintings or chalk drawings making use of anamorphosis. In 2006, she held Guinness World Record for the Largest Chalk Painting by an individual. She is the founder of the Tilt Museums in New Jersey, USA and in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,
Julian Beever (born c. 1959) is a British sidewalk chalk artist [1] who has been creating trompe-l'œil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. He uses a projection technique called anamorphosis to create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle. He preserves his work in photographs, often positioning ...
Chalk art by kids in the Czech Republic. On September 16–17, 2006, a global event was held to promote peace through sidewalk chalk drawings. [5] Chalk4Peace was a project planned by an artist from Arlington, Virginia named John Aaron, who asked children and teens from the age of eight to age eighteen to participate in groups across the world to draw chalk drawings that would illustrate peace ...
Ceiling of the Treasure Room of the Archaeological Museum of Ferrara, Italy, painted in 1503–1506. Trompe-l'œil (French for 'deceive the eye'; / t r ɒ m p ˈ l ɔɪ / tromp-LOY; French: [tʁɔ̃p lœj] ⓘ) is an artistic term for the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface.
Examples are the sidewalk chalk drawings of Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever, [16] where the chalked image, the pavement, and the architectural surroundings all become part of an illusion. Art of this style can be produced by taking a photograph of an object or setting at a sharp oblique angle, then putting a grid over the photograph.
Street painting, also known as screeving, pavement art, street art, and sidewalk art, is the performance art of rendering artistic designs on pavement such as streets, sidewalks, and town squares with impermanent and semi-permanent materials such as chalk.
On engineering drawings, the projection is denoted by an international symbol representing a truncated cone in either first-angle or third-angle projection, as shown by the diagram on the right. The 3D interpretation is a solid truncated cone, with the small end pointing toward the viewer. The front view is, therefore, two concentric circles.
Oblique projection is a simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing two-dimensional (2D) images of three-dimensional (3D) objects. The objects are not in perspective and so do not correspond to any view of an object that can be obtained in practice, but the technique yields somewhat convincing and useful results.
