The Advanced Vocational Training Module in Mural Arts is targeted at training experts in the field of visual intervention by developing their artistic creations with 2D and 3D media, and by taking an in-depth look at the knowledge of traditional techniques, procedures and materials, as well as the use of the extensive range of resources that enable contemporary technologies in the various fields of artistic application.

Mural art professionals can offer creative solutions that inter-relate languages and techniques and directly impact the aesthetic and functional substrate of our society.
