Workshop: Sharon Compton's Portable Mural Workshop provides students with the opportunity to create from their own vision, based on a theme which is easily linked to curriculum. Individual work is then combined in one or more large format works (murals) which can be hung on site anywhere at the school, or predesigned for a specific area. Workshop focus is on classical drawing and painting skills, mixed media, and composition, combining abstract and representational images. Sharon presents the creative process (awareness of all possible options) as a method for making art and living one's life.
