Hello Hello.
This Sunday we go back to the National Association for the Blind (NAB) and finish up what we left unfinished. We hope this week a lot more people join us, as this is a large wall and there is lots of canvas to work with.
The theme is Education and the Blind. Come up with ideas that relate to the topic and remember that some of the kids there are not completely blind but visually impaired... This allows them to experie...nce the wall with us as well.
Please do organize your paints and brushes in advance.
For your convenience here is a map of the location. http://tinyurl.com/39hpa8z
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
- It's open to all. Show up on 5th September 2010 and paint your style.
- if you are apprehensive about painting all by yourself then you could assist people who are painting.
- you could come as a group (friends, family etc) and paint.
TIPS WHILE ON WHAT TO BUY -
1. Acrylic distemper or acrylic emulsion that is water based, but waterproof, or
2. oil paints - tend to be drippy, but give glossy look.
3. get enough sandpaper to scrape off cement from the wall to make it smoother.
4. Brushes of different sizes.
(you can get this at any hardware/paint shop)
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
* no adverts, no religious writings, no political slogans, no foul language, no obscenity, no self promotional messages, no nationalistic slogans on the wall.
* being a weekend/holiday some paint/hardware shops may be shut or close shop early, so you would want to check on what you require in advance.
*remember to clean up your area of paint and leave no left over paints or anything.
*please be courteous while sharing painting space with a new person as it's a community project.
Thank you all and see you at the wall! Cheers!
