6. history
Street painting has a long tradition in Europe and is thought to have originated in Italy during the 16th century.
street painting was also thought to be practiced in Great Britain around the same time period. In great Britain the term for street painter is screever.

7. Italian madonnari
Italian madonnari were vagabond artists noted for a life of travel between festivals.
They often lived solely from the coins tossed onto or next to their drawing as homage to the Madonna and possibly their skill.
They arrived in towns and cities to paint religious pictures directly on the paved public squares, using chalk, brick, charcoal, and colored stones as their medium.
In Italy, street painters are called Madonnari after their practice of reproducing images of the Madonna (St. Mary). Their work is tied to the rich history of Italian religious art, and is connected to icons

8. revival
madonnari were true folk artists, reproducing simple images with minimal materials.
Thanks to the International Street Painting Festival in Grazie di Curtatone in Northern Italy in 1972, the art form has been revitalized.
Today a growing number of artists are carrying on the tradition and are introducing new images and materials.

9. Festivals
The first recorded street-painting competition and 'festival' was held in London in 1906.
In 1972 the first 'Italian' International Street Painting Competition was held in Grazie di Curtatone, Italy. In 1987, Wenner and Manfred Stader introduced street painting to Old Mission Santa Barbara, California.
One of the largest events in the United States is the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival, held in Lake Worth Florida. Started in 1994, it attracts 100,000 visitors over the weekend to see 250 works of art by over 400 artists.[1]
In 2010, the First International Street Painting Festival held in the United States[4][5] was organized by Denise Kowal, president of the Avenida de Colores, Inc. 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that produces the Sarasota Chalk Festival.[6] More than 250 street painters attended the Halloween-themed festival of 2010 that featured street painters from around the world and ran for eight and a half days.
In 2011 the First International StreetArt was staged in Wilhelmshaven in Germany. The event is scheduled to return in August 2012.[7]

10. records
In 2008 Mark Wagner and 6,000 people (over 4,000 elementary school kids from Alameda,CA) set a Guinness World Record for the World's largest Pavement Art covering over 90,000 sq. ft. (8,361 sq. meters). A satellite photograph was taken of the artwork.[3]

11. Master artist -3D Kurt wenner
In 1982 Kurt Wenner combined traditional street painting techniques with his understanding of illusion to invent an art form all his own Called anamorphic, illusionistic, or 3D pavement art.
In 1985, National Geographic documented Wenner’s works of art in their award- winning film Masterpieces in Chalk.
Today all artists creating 3D pavement artworks can trace its origins back to Wenner’s invention.
