This workshop will introduce teachers to methods and varying practices of community and public artists. We will look to Marguerite Zorach’s Land and Development of New England to notice in the gallery and discuss WPA projects and the importance that murals hold in a community. Learn ways to develop themes and concepts for collaborative murals and discuss ways to engage in broader discussions of community representation. We will look at a variety of local and national community arts projects and create a collaborative mural panel of our own to practice ways to encourage participation for all-ages and levels.
