He made two-dimensional drawings using chalk (something teachers use to write on blackboards) and people gave him money. He began experimenting with chalk creations after seeing tiles being removed from a street, an effect he tried to recreate on paper. When looked at in a photograph, Beever’s creations look amazingly realistic. (17) … . The 3-D (three-dimensional) optical illusion effect works only from one particular angle: the place where Beever positions his camera. From any other angle, the work looks strange. For Beever, the pavement creation isn’t the end result. (18) … . This means a lot of his time is used running between the camera and the drawing, making sure each line is in just the right place to create the 3-D look. While some artists might feel it would be a waste of time to create art that can be seen from only one angle – and that is usually damaged within a few days – Beever doesn’t mind, and he sees the internet as the best way to show his art. Without the internet, his work wouldn’t really be known. But with the internet, his work never really disappears and it’s seen by a lot more people than if it was in a museum. Beever studied at an art school and he can recreate the art of the masters as well as paint formal portraits. (19) … . He believes his art allows everyone to look at and enjoy art: ‘My art is for anybody. It’s for people who wouldn’t go into an art gallery. It’s art for the people.’ Choose the correct sentence to complete the gaps number 16.

Julian Beever started creating pavement art while he was attending art school.

He explains, ‘For me, I’m working towards building a photograph as my end result.’

However, most of his time and energy is used for the 3-D pavement art which has made him famous.

Those who walk past them don’t get quite the same view, though.

Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso is known all over the world for his painting, drawing and sculpture. People say that Picasso’s first words were ‘piz, piz’.
