ART 133 PZ -Mural Painting

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course will examine the history of LA mural painting and practice theart of developing local murals. Los Angeles has been referred to as the mural capital of the world. The cultural identity of Los Angeles is tied to its murals, which have become the means for people to express their diverse experiences and contemporary concerns. We will investigate local murals formally, stylistically and conceptually. We will research the social and political themes of murals and use this forum to create murals that make unique student statements on Pitzer campus. In collaboration with a local community center we will facilitate a larger mural representing the identity of this community.
