Introductory studio course of mural painting techniques - students develop, organize and execute group and individual public works. Includes study of the history of public art and contemporary trends in mural painting.
Murals represent the oldest form of painting, and dominate much of the history of art.
Currently a revival of this art form is taking place in the US and internationally. Few if any similar programs exist in this country. CCSU will play a leading role in the revival of this exciting public work, with the opportunity to attract students and visiting artists. The mural course will allow for a unique opportunity to involve students in a key mission of the university. It will provide a learning experience with diverse communities - and a chance for students to engage in dialogue with the viewing public.
