Pavement Art
Julian Beever has produced a number of different kinds of pavement art (anamorphic illusions--distorted drawings designed to produce the perception that one is viewing 3 dimensions), including renderings of old masters, advertisements for various companies, etc. This web site will tell you a bit more about his work (and includes the drawings that I sent you earlier this morning): http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/index.html The links are worth exploring and might give you even more neat ideas for assignments. Be sure to click on the //Wall Murals// link. (I also thought the collages of Princess Diana made out of photos of her were a neat idea.) For those of you who are interested in pursuing this a little deeper, pavement art is a form of [|busking] and, in large cities, a //busking permit// is generally required in order to create pavement art. The **Buskers and Busking Resources** site might be of interest to students taking drama, vocal music, and instrumental music: http://www.vocalist.org.uk/busking_links.html. Here is another site that might be helpful to that same group: http://www.performers.net/ Some additional resources for those interested in pavement art appear below.
