ART-3010: Mural Painting

The mural is arguably humanity’s oldest form of painting, and it continues to have contemporary relevance. Students gain practical knowledge of how to paint a mural, as we collaborate to paint a wall on campus and/or in the community. All aspects of the mural painting process will be covered in this course, starting with the design and brainstorming phase, and ending with a community unveiling. Our mural design will be informed by classroom discussions about the socio-political context of murals. Some examples of the topics we will research include: the Mexican Muralists, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, and the urban graffiti movement.
