For this activity, I had the opportunity to go to Venice Beach. This was my first time going to Venice Beach so I was at first shocked by the culture. When we arrived at the actual graffiti walls, I was instantly hit with the fumes put off by the vast amount of spray painting that was occurring around me. The artists that were working on their pieces were working intently in order to create the image that they wanted.
For this assignment, we were instructed to spray paint on one the walls. Since I was intimidated by the graffiti artists, I chose to spray paint my name very small in one of the corners. It was a really cool concept that by painting my name on the wall, I was leaving my mark.
