REvamp: Urban Arts Program

Workshops

Join Propel Youth Arts and FRANK in a series of FREE mural painting workshops to learn how to make a career in public art, discover how to make stencils and co-design a mural to transform Aqualife.  

Week One: ART IS A REAL JOB!

  • Learn all about the journey of becoming an artist, the various pathways to success and the importance of networking.
  • During this workshop we will explore supportive resources, look at your rights as an artist and explore the things I wish I had known. 

Week Two: TELLING A STORY – THE CREATIVE PROCESS 

  • Learn how to interpret a brief and create a narrative to fit your personal style of art. 
  • We will be using a site-specific example and exploring the various considerations for the mural that will be created as part of this project.
  • The second half of this workshop will focus on brainstorming and collaboration to create a unique public art piece that will be installed in the community.

Week Three: TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS 

  • Now that we have a concept, how do we get it on the wall? Discover ‘old school’ analogue processes used by the experts and the transition to modern techniques. 
  • For this workshop we will look at stencil making, DIY aesthetic and how to use simple tools in multiple applications to create stickers, posters and tees!
