You will need:
-ruler
-newspapers
-pencils
-wall paint (provided in class)
-an old rag
-paintbrushes and thinner (provided in class)
Guide
Step 1: Set up the mural space by putting newspapers on the floor ensuring a tidy workspace. If the wall isn’t white or light colored, you may have to begin by setting up your ‘canvas’ by painting your mural background white.
Step 2: Use pencils and transfer the artwork onto the wall. use pencils and rulers to mimic the measurements and the ‘grid’ of the paper mural.
Step 3: Time to paint! Let the following videos guide you.
Step 4: Painting will probably take several classes. So please clean up at the end of each class (get the paint out of the paintbrushes or they will get hard) so that you can use the same equipment next time.
