Make a Mural Using Procreate on Your Ipad: A 3-Day Digital Art Workshop

In this creative three-day workshop, students will explore spaces in their home or outside that would benefit from a mural, then sketch, design, and digitally paint a mural that blends into that space using Procreate’s powerful tools—such as blend modes, layers, masking, and custom palettes. The final product is an image of the digital mural that’s so realistic, you’ll think your child pulled out the paintbrushes when you weren’t looking!

Artists will explore real-world mural art from around the globe to better understand the role of public artwork in building community and expressing identity. After photographing the space, students will brainstorm themes and concepts that represent their personal style and interests, but also the needs and desires of those who would view the mural. 

Throughout the course, students will develop both technical digital art skills and a deeper understanding of public art’s impact on society. All lessons include step-by-step demonstrations, creative freedom, and individual feedback opportunities.

✨  Growth Mindset ✨

In our classes, we are building a multi-layered scaffolding of the love of learning that is rooted in the idea that we can find inspiration every day to start again right where we are, finding satisfaction and pride in seeing our progress! Learners who stick with our classes over time come to believe that experimenting, problem solving, setbacks, re-trying and breakthroughs among the support, kindness and inspiration of peers and qualified mentors leads to more flexibility, innovation, courage and self-confidence in not only their art skills, but in all other areas of life! And we have a lot of fun doing it!

We use conversation prompts to create an inspiring atmosphere where artists learn to trust their intuition. We use targeted practice to break down the mechanics of a complex and difficult skill like art into easy, achievable steps, while having fun and building connections and friendships over what we love and struggle with in the art process!

✨  Classroom ✨ 

Our classes are anchored in kindness, affirmations and fun! We do not use competitions or comparing. Constructive, hamburger-style critiques are offered by the teacher. There is a variety of skill level in each group, and we validate and help kids feel good about wherever their skill is. Kids love to share their art and bond over what they love and struggle with. We teach learners how to find joy and delight in their practice, which motivates them to do it more.
