    How Are Murals Made?

    Step One

    Wall Selec6on and Authoriza6on. Things to consider:

    visibilityviewing distance

    ligh6ng

    exposure to weather

    vandalism

    need (is this wall already beau6fied by plants, architecture, etc.? Or is this an undervalued

    stretch of surface?)

    architectural elements

    logis6cs of pain6ng (can the ar6sts stand near it comfortably? How tall is it? Will there need

    to be ladders, scaffolding, etc.? Is there a place to store the paint and supplies nearby? A

    restroom nearby? A water source for cleaning out brushes, rollers, etc.?)

    Step Two

    Budge6ng

    Where can we get the funding? How much is available? Can we afford professionals,

    emerging, or student ar6sts? Could we run a class that could create the mural during the

    quarter? Could we do the pressure washing/priming/graffi6 coa6ng in house?

    Step Three

    Ar6st Selec6on Process

    Write and publish a call for entry

    open it up to all ar6sts in the community (Greater SeaPle/uget Sound), includingstudents, alumni, faculty and staff

    Ar6st will need to know ahead of 6me that they are being hired for the design only.

    Students will be doing the pain6ng.

    Step Four

    Campus/community Engagement?

    integrate this mural project with exis6ng campus and community revitaliza6on strategies:

    partnering with clubs/groups, or reaching further out to neighborhood organiza6ons,

    public schools, etc. The selected muralist should be involved in this process to hear first

    hand the ideas, concerns and values of the campus and community.

    Step Five

    Design Process

    Once the site considera6ons are integrated with the input and feedback from the

    community engagement process, the muralist begins to design. Each muralist has his or

    her own unique design process.

    Design considera6ons:

    Budget

    theme

    loca6on

    schedulecommunity interests.

    A photorealis6c mural will cost more than a graphic, more simple design with flat

    applica6ons of paint. A corrugated surface will cost more than a flat surface, etc.

    CommiPee will approve final design. Though everyones voice should be heard in the

    design process, it is ul6mately the ar6sts decision.

    Step SixWall and Site Prep

    Most walls require some degree of repair and prepara6on before installa6on can begin.

    We will need to assess wall condi6on and address structural and surface problems such as

    patching, mold, water drainage, and roof and flashing condi6on. A[er the surface is

    pressure washed, we will need to prime it (best done with spray gun). Doing this by hand

    with a roller is not an efficient use of 6me. Can we use inhouse talent for this?

    Step Seven

    Pain6ng and Installa6on

    The pain6ng process generally uses one of two techniquespain6ng directly onto the

    wall or pain6ng on parachute cloth or sheets of plywood in a studio, which are later

    transferred to the wall much like installing wall paper or in the case of plywood, bybol6ng it in. This method allows murals to be painted in small sec6ons on tables, just

    about anywhere, indoors and yearround. (Also true with ceramic murals) This also

    allows for all physical capabili6es to take part in the pain6ng without having to stand

    for long hours at a 6me or climb on scaffolding. However, it is a more visible and

    interac6ve process if the pain6ng is done on site. The pain6ng process can take from

    three to six months, depending on size, design and process. We could schedulecampuswide pain6ng days when any student or staff person could sign up to help

    paint under the direc6on of the muralist(s).

    Step Eight

    Celebra6on

    Mural dedica6ons o[en carry strong symbolism and meaning for those involved and

    can be a significant event for the culture of the campus. It could involve performancesby local musicians, students, performance arts, poets, and others and could be

    organized as a fullday event with food and fes6vi6es.

    Ways that you can be involved in this exci6ng project:

    1. Help us define NSCC. When we put out a search for ar6sts, we will include aWho we are at North SeaPle Community College paragraph so that the ar6st canbePer represent us in the design proposal. How would you define us in a sentence?

    Would you talk about the history of our land and ecology? The number of

    languages spoken on campus? The history of how our learning ins6tu6on came to

    be? Our demographics? Our academic success? How would you define our culture?

    Specifics are more helpful than generali6es. i.e. Diversity is certainly a core value

    but what exactly does that mean to you and how do we at North best exemplifythat? lease limit your sugges6ons to concise sentences so we can bePer compile

    the finished paragraph. Email to [email protected]

    2.Sign upto be on the ar6st and design selec6on commiPee. You will have avoice in which ar6st and which design is chosen.

    3.Join us on the Arts Task Force CommiPee. This is a energe6c new commiPeeformed to help increase the arts on campus.
