This class asks participants to explore themes for their personal mural, creating a workable design, followed by prepping and painting.

We will reference murals from around the world and learn techniques and materials to insure a quality project.

Working with a minimum of two and a maximum of three collaborating students per each 4'x 8' plywood mural, we will refine our ideas, learn successful design concepts, and create images that make a statement in to the public.

Brush, spray can, and stencil mural styles are all welcome. At the conclusion of this class the completed murals will be displayed at the Sebastopol Center for Arts. The class is open to participants 14 years and up and families are welcome.

About the Instructor: Dave Gordon attended the San Francisco Arts Institute and UCLA, receiving a BA in Anthropology in 1980 while employed as illustrator for the Archaeological Survey. In I979, he studied painting at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Bourges, France. Then, left school and hitchhiked across Europe, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal, painting small murals. In 1983, he worked as an assistant to Terry Schoonhoven on his Los Angeles Olympics mural, and in 1984 was commissioned to paint an 8,400 square foot retaining wall on Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica, California. Since that time, Dave has designed and painted 60 site-specific murals throughout the USA, including 4 artworks for the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia, and two walls inside the Visitors Center on Independence Mall. In 2003, he was invited to paint a mural during the Festival International des Arts Plastiques in Mahares, Tunisia. For the past several years, Gordon had the opportunity to work locally, producing murals in Sebastopol, Sonoma, Occidental and Boyes Hot Springs.
