Light the Night
Lukemia and Lumphoma Society Event
Friday October 27, 2017
I worked with 3 other artists to complete 4 chalk art pieces for this event. It was an exciting day of working with other talented artists: Sheryl, Jan, and Hilary. The artwork was to be in four spaces on either side of a huge blown up arch.
We arrived at 10am and waited and waited for the Arch to arrive. When it finally arrived at about 11:30 and they tried to put it up, it was so windy that they couldn't keep the arch in place. So we just measured it and then they took it down until later. It wasn't until about 12:00 that we got started. Then it took us about an hour to tape and grid the artwork, so it wasn't until about 1:00 when we actually started chalking!
We split the work up. Jan and Hillary did the lettering and Sheryl and I did the images. We worked well together. It was so windy! We were constantly chasing our supplies and the chalk kept blowing off as soon as we put it down. But we got all four artworks done just in time for the start of the event to start at 5pm! What a day!
It was really great to work with the other artists! I learned so much from all of them! Even though it was stressful, we stayed in good spirits throughout and had a great result in the end!
