Mural Painting Certificate Program
 Pennsylvania
College of Art & Design receives numerous requests to help with the execution of murals. These requests come from individuals who want
murals for their homes, community organizations wishing to beautify their
neighborhoods, or developers who want to enhance a project. The college
can usually recommend only a handful of local muralists and certainly
not enough to accommodate the requests.
There are a great number of painters in the area who could do mural work
if they were experienced, encouraged and networked. Find out more about
Pennsylvania College of Art & Design's Mural
Resource Project.
Through this series of courses, artists will learn about the basic materials
and techniques used to create large-scale interior and exterior paintings,
in addition to learning how to manage and coordinate a community mural
project.
Here are some of the topics students will learn about:
• image development
• surface preparation
• image enlargement
• selecting paint and materials
• organizing a community-based mural project
