Spring back to the chalkboard

Spring is a season filled with color, but more of it could be added on the Pierce College campus. Pierce could host a Madonnari week when the Arts Department and other students can create chalk art.

An article from Wayne State University reports that “Madonnari," or street painters, were known for creating simple images with crude materials such as chalk or coal. The practice is traced back to 16th century Italy.

These can be created along the Mall, in front of Student Services and in front of the Library. Students and the community could bring chalk to make art representing the spring season.
