Fergus High Chalk Drawings

  • The chalk drawings outside the school of Fergus High were done by Juniors, Emily Eckhardt & Gregory Fulbright. Some passerby's coming in and out of the school for sports contributed by giving some ideas to be drawn.
  • Interview with Greg Fulbright and Emily Eckhardt by Elizabeth Craven:
    • Q. What was your inspiration for this project?
    • A. We were at a Lewis & Clark orientation, and Emily got the idea to welcome freshmen in a fun way to start the school year.
    • Q. Was anyone else involved with this project? If so, who?
    • A. People who were going into the school for practice would ask for pictures to be drawn, though it was just Emily and I doing most of the drawings.
    • Q. Which drawing was your favorite?
    • A. My favorite was the dill pickle which said "We're kind of a big dill." I thought it was rather entertaining. My second favorite was the F.H.S. elements, which was cleverly put together.
    • Q. When did you start this project?
    • A. The night before school began, Emily got permission from Eliot and Bennet. Later, it got cloudy and almost rained.
    • Q. What was the purpose for this project?
    • A. To mainly welcome sports, freshman, and school clubs back to school.
    • Q. Which part of this project was your favorite?
    • A. Color, as well as working with Emily.
    • Q. Is there any more information you want to share that we haven't already covered?
    • A. We sneaked in a secret hop scotch pattern to see if anyone would actually use it.
