At the
end of the school year, dozens of Alta High School students teamed up, as they
have since 1985, to Chalk the Walk. During the event, students had four hours
to recreate famous works of art using sidewalk chalk matching the theme of
surrealism. “Today the objectives remain the same: first to give students from
many different artistic levels the opportunity to re-create a famous work of
art using sidewalk chalk, and second giving artistic as well as non-artistic
students the opportunity to view the creative process and appreciate
reproductions of famous works of art,” said teacher and Chalk the Walk
organizer Katie Campbell.
