Broadcaster Press 9 April 21, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com By Sarah Wetzel For the Plain Talk As part of National Library week, kids, teens and adults joined together to turn ideas and sketches into sidewalk chalk and starchpaint art Monday afternoon. “I’ve drawn since I was little, so it’s always something that I’ve liked,” said Tate, 13. Tate’s sidewalk square showed a lovely oak on a hill. “I love trees to death,” he said. “They are my favorite thing of all time. Oak and willow are the prettiest trees I’ve ever seen.” According to Tate, more should be done to save trees and stop deforestation. “It bugs me when people chop them down,” he said. “There are other things you could be using like brick or concrete.” Tate’s love of art has fueled this passion for trees. “There’s this picture that really spoke to me where these lumbermen were cut- 1335 L I L’ BIT S ting down these trees,” he enough you can find a 90 his own pencil sketches of know my mom’s good at said. “As they were cutting percent off sale.
