'Sidewalk chalk' are large colored pens mostly used for
drawing on
pavement or
cement sidewalk. It is sometimes used to draw a
four square court or a
hopscotch board. Recently, artists such as
Kurt Wenner and
Julian Beever have created amazingly intricate and realistic
street paintings using the chalk and
pastels. Sidewalk chalk is used at some universities to advertise for events, especially where there is much concrete. Prohibitions are set for where students can chalk, usually limiting it to areas that will be washed away with rain.
