The contemporary U.S. Mural Movement found formation in the turbulent period of the late 1960's. The struggle for equality and peace was the foundation of this new public art movement. This studio course will investigate murals as a socio-political statement through the development of the contemporary mural movement and the influences that helped shape it. The action project for this course will consist of executing a mural work. This process will involve student collaboration, discussion, development of relevant themes, a presentation and approval from the immediate community, group and independent research in the community, preparation, and execution. A dedication celebration for viewing the final work will be organized by all.
