Mural Design

This two-semester UC-approved survey course  takes a student through the exploration of fine art, art history, design and mural making fundamentals. Covering topics ranging from the basics in color theory: contrasting colors, color meaning and power, values, color pallets, branding, students will practice hand skills: drawing, brush and can control fundamentals combined with composition: scale, grid systems, balance, tension as well as design: communication hierarchies, client expectations, peer reviews, mood boards and refinements. The sessions will include written, spoken, recorded and painted solutions to problems, resulting in a multi-media portfolio with the main focus on their final works of art on canvas.
