The real art is that there are no streaks with that much chalk

That has to be a magic eraser cause I remember trying trying to erase stuff and having to constantly clap out all the chalk dust.

If i were that teacher I would of waited, asked if everyone wanted to take a picture, given the artist a reward then sadly rub it out.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I remember my study group did some drawings that we liked a lot...so we took pics before erasing.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The teacher actually made that and is simply erasing it since they're back from their break. I'm also making this up.

I dont think its real i mean you cant erase chalk that easy with a dry sponge and if it was a wet one it would leave diffrent marks and 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

The water would dribble down. In other words with a wet sponge you cant make such a perfect line 2/2

Or, you know, don't do you art where it interferes with people doing their jobs. Plenty of young artists are avknowledged.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Even if it wasn't fake, noone should be putting it on a surface purpose built to be erased and reused multiple times daily :)

I might laugh, but I know the school is fucking falling apart from under-funding and those big white boards aren't cheap. So maybe not.

I mean it's great stuff, but maybe don't draw on the chalkboard intended for learning.

Art doesn't ask place and permission. Well, sometimes it does. But doing things just to paper or Canvas limits you. Some art is just fleetin

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 16

Screw the downvoters, you're right. The person who drew this probably just did it to do it anyways.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 4

True. If that was artist's goal, then that's cool.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Well that's oddest downvotes I've gotten without replies attached. Oh well, shit happens. I still think some art is done just "for a moment"

Kid did a mural on our art room chalk board and instead of erasing it they clear coated it and replaced the black board.

I was in high school at the time so that was 20 years ago. I didn’t happen to have a disposable camera with me all the time.

Lame. High school was 12 years ago for me so I know about the camera thing. That is still pretty awesome though.

It's time to go back and see if they've kept it around.

Staged or not, this is a great photograph!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Staged. If there was that much chalk used, the eraser wouldn't be able to pick it all up, leaving behind streaks at least.

9 years ago | Likes 31 Dislikes 4

It's a sponge.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Also, there are some streaks towards the beginning and eye area.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

There are, and on the eye outline--- just like if the editor used a single swipe of a "oil" brush in a photoeditor. which they did.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Actually, now that I look at it more closely, I think the whole thing is a photo-realistic painting, or the picture is just really grainy.

It's not real, don't worry.

Good man, and yet most people will believe the incorrect comment not back up by a source...

It's called the Backfire Effect, where if your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger.

It's rough around the edges, there's nothing dripping, and it looks exactly the same as the area off to the left. I doubt it.

I hope they kept a photo of this art piece before the teacher destroy it :(

9 years ago | Likes 347 Dislikes 29

Think of it as a mandala. It's beautiful but meant to be destroyed because nothing in life is permanent

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

I mean, as nice as it is the teacher still has a job to do. She cant just leave it for eternity. Shes not a monster for erasing it.

9 years ago | Likes 372 Dislikes 11

The artist does this a lot, if she didn't wipe it, it would mean he couldn't do more.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Agree. Maybe don't do it on a chalk board that needs to be used for class, or any random wall, and folks would love it.

9 years ago | Likes 91 Dislikes 4

I don't see the teacher as a monster. But I do see the allegory for life/expression.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's exactly why the comment you replied too asked if a photo was taken.

9 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 5

With the phrase "before the teacher destroy it :(" it sounded as if they were condemning the teacher for erasing it, hence my comment.

9 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 4

Because at the end of it all, she did destroy it, even if she was "just doing her job"

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 8

"Destroying : end the existence of (something) by damaging or attacking it." It's exatly what is happening here.

The beauty of the chalk board medium is that it's a moment in time. To be erased so others can replace it.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

If the artist had drawn in beach sand at low tide, would you be angry at the ocean for destroying it? Don't be dumb.

9 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 8

If another shitty analogy exists to be made would you jump to make it without hesitation? Don't be dumb.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 6

I don't get reactions like yours on this comment, taking a photo is being "angry" and "dumb" ?

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 5

It's the "before the teacher destroy it :(" part that gives it a somewhat berating tone.

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

This is photoshopped lol.

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 2

I have never ever seen an eraser work that well in one swipe. If I had to guess, the erasure is part of the art piece.

9 years ago | Likes 70 Dislikes 4

I thought about this too. Probably part of the message behind the art....or some crap like that

Na if you look close enough you can see some left over chalk where the eraser passed through
