Pavement Chalk Art
Public Art by Julian Beever
What is anamorphosis?
• Anamorphosis is a distorted projection or
perspective requiring the viewer to use special
devices or occupy a specific vantage point (or
both) to reconstitute the image. The word
"anamorphosis" is derived from the Greek
prefix ana-, meaning back or again, and the
word morphe, meaning shape or form.
Anamorphic illusions are drawn in a
special distortion in order to create
an impression of 3 dimensions
when seen from one particular
viewpoint.
Objective
• Students will be able to analyze the purposes
of public art and the techniques Beever uses
to create the illusion of three dimensionality.
• Your ideas?
• What is the purpose of public art?
• What techniques might an artist use to create
illusion of three dimensionality?

Next Group of Art is from a
Series…..can you guess the theme?
Part of a series used by

in Treasure Hunting magazine.
Perspective
• Perspective is the technique that artists use to
give the illusion of three-dimensional space on
a two –dimensional surface.
Design Elements
• Lines are strokes or marks. They can be thick
or thin, long or short, smooth or jagged. They
can focus attention and create a feeling of
depth. They can frame an object, direct a
viewer’s eye, or create a sense of motion.
• Shape is the external outline of an object.
Shape can emphasize visual elements and add
interest.
Design Elements
• Color- can be used to create a mood and to
make things look real. By using color and
shadow together, artists can give an image a
sense of depth.
• Texture is the surface quality or appearance of
an object. For example, an object’s texture
can be rough, wet, or shiny.
Directions
• Read “Pavement Chalk Art” pages 89-91.
• Pay attention to the chalk drawings.
• As you view the two drawings, think about
what it would be like to be a passerby who
suddenly walks across or into one of Beever’s
works.
• Write down questions that you have.
