Murals are one of the oldest visual art forms known to humans and have been used to spread social and political messages, reflect cultural identity, and revitalize neighborhoods. In this session, renowned artist and muralist Rafael López joins National Postal Museum educator Maureen Leary to explore how educators in all types of learning environments can leverage mural-making to encourage self-expression and build community. You’ll leave with resources and strategies to explore murals as an art form and initiate your own mural projects with learners of all ages.
