In this multi-week workshop, you’ll explore the full journey of mural painting—from bold brainstorming and imaginative design to large-scale painting and final installation. Discover the fundamentals of compelling visual design and build real-world skills as you paint alongside experienced instructors. Let your creativity stretch across the wall!
Each week, we will focus on a different aspect of creating a mural from start to finish:
- pursuing mural painting opportunities for publicly and privately owned spaces
- creating a strong, effective design with stakeholders in mind
- integrating the principles of design with thematic needs
- creating and revising designs with your client
- preparing the wall
- keeping the mural site clean
- transferring your design to the wall
- painting the mural itself
- photographing the mural
- clear coating the mural to protect from damage/degrading
- organizing a ribbon cutting we will join in on to celebrate our completed mural.
