Mural Painting

This is an Independent Study Class for Advanced Drawing & Painting Students by instructor permission only.

Mural Painting is designed to prepare students in both the designing and painting of large-scale public art murals. These murals are in demand by communities (such as city governments, schools, and parks) to enhance and beautify public and private sites and to combat blight and graffiti. Public and private institutions use murals to brand their visual logos and promote specific messages on their public sites. Private businesses also want to brand their locations with large paintings or murals that include visual images and graphic signage. Students in this program will utilize both digital and traditional techniques from visual composition, illustration, sign painting, and fine art painting while integrating historical, traditional, and contemporary mural painting styles. Career opportunities include being a fine artist who creates, designs, and paints murals, and/or using the acquired skills to be hired for mural restoration, as a fine arts painter, illustrator, or the creation of hand-painted graphics; set and exhibit designer and creator, and also a painter for construction and maintenance purposes.
