Location
You can paint anywhere that’s legal! A piece of cardboard or plywood in your back yard is just fine. Fine, and maybe even really cool, but I think you’d have way more fun at the Venice Beach Legal Art Walls. Not only can you see other painting and have your work in the energy juice of the sun, sand, surf & palm trees, but you can also check out the Venice Beach Skate Park, Basketball Courts, Muscle Beach, and, of course, the craziness and cheap, giant slices of pizza at the Venice Boardwalk.
You want to go!
But you hate to drive and gas is too expensive. I know! So let me sweeten the pot for you. You can paint anywhere that’s legal for full credit. If you go to the Venice Artwalls, I’ll give you +30 of EC!
The Art Walls are NOT open weekdays!
The Art Walls are Open Sat & Sun from 10am to 1/2 hour before sunset.
Parking
• Free: On the street, far, walk!
• Really Close: about $15
• Earlier tends to be easier

I’ll be there on Saturday from 10am to Noon. You really don’t need any help from me, but it’d be nice to say “Hi!” and hangout. I’ll bring some iced tea too!
Painting
You should use at least 2 colors on your name. If you carpool with a classmate you can share colors. Any spray paint is fine. Montana is really nice. The Montana “caps” are really nice for filling in large areas.
Inspiration: Bomb It
Here’s a great documentary on Street Art & Graffiti Writing, Bomb It. It’s 90 minutes and you don’t have to watch it all. But it’s a pretty great film so you might just want to pop a bag of popcorn and let it run…
Activity
• Do a sketch of your name in Bubble Letters in advance.
• Paint your name in Bubble Letters.
• Blog it! Include a few pictures and talk about your experience.
Is there anyone willing to carpool on Saturday? I live on campus so I don’t have a car but I can give you some gas money or something!
I will be going Saturday along with my sister if you want to carpool. My sister also lives on campus so it won’t be a hassle for me to pick up another person. I was deciding on leaving early morning around 8:30, just in case there is traffic, which hopefully there is not. But we can talk about it if you want to leave a little earlier/later.
Lmk if your interested so we can decide when we want to go and so I can stop by to pick you up.
Thank you so much but I found a ride!
Hey guys!
I will be going tomorrow to Venice Beach for the painting extra credit if anyone wants to tag along. I will be going with my sister, so I have room for 3 more people. I already printed out the “Venice Art Walls Artist Agreement” forms that we will need to fill out and hand in, in order to tag on the walls.
I live in North Long Beach but I will be making a trip to the school in the morning to pick my sister up from her dorm. I plan on leaving around 8:30 am, latest 9:00 am, to be there as soon as they open. All I will be asking for is gas money, that’s it.
Lmk if you guys are interested.
Thanks for reaching out to your classmates Priscilla! Awesomesauce!!
