Week One: ART IS A REAL JOB! 👩🎨

- During this workshop we will explore supportive resources, look at your rights as an artist and explore the things I wish I had known.
Week Two: TELLING A STORY – THE CREATIVE PROCESS 📚
- Learn how to interpret a brief and create a narrative to fit your personal style of art.
- We will be using a site-specific example and exploring the various considerations for the mural that will be created as part of this project.
- The second half of this workshop will focus on brainstorming and collaboration to create a unique public art piece that will be installed in the community.
Week Three: TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS 🖌️
- Now that we have a concept, how do we get it on the wall? Discover ‘old school’ analogue processes used by the experts and the transition to modern techniques.
