Some imaginative youngsters drew jolly creatures and motifs in chalk on brick pavement at Hoveton riverside centre.
Pavement chalk art was memorably depicted in the Mary Poppins stories by Pamela L Travers. Walt Disney's enchanting 1964 film featured many hand drawn backdrops, which merged cleverly with the live acting and animation. Bert the cheery busker, pavement artist, chimney sweep and all round fixer of things daubed some country scenes, described as a 'bit of magic'.
Art in public spaces enlivens life ~ could there be more artworks in our towns and rural areas?
