Course Title:
Muralism and Public Art
Course Number:
ART 2130
Course Description:
Through collaborative and participatory dynamics, this studio course looks into conceptual
and practice-based approaches in public art. We adopt chance operations, design thinking,
disruptive strategies, and artistic methodologies - towards that which is not yet. Art practice
is viewed as a process, a way of thinking, engaging, and experiencing in different contexts.
The course is divided into a theoretical and experimental phase, followed by a design
process, which leads to the execution of a collaborative public work of art. It can be through
mural painting, public intervention or other forms of public art and new genres, relational,
site-specific, etc. The experimental, design and execution phases are non-linear and
intertwined.
The objective is for participants to explore and develop their ideas and interrogate the
impact of public art in communities. The course will enable students to manipulate
elements of form, specific media, techniques, and safety measures aimed at public spaces.
