The ancient art of fresco painting has been
practiced for millennia. The oldest paintings we
have evidence of are kinds of fresco. In this
course students will work on small scale true
fresco projects. They will learn to apply the
fresco lime plaster to tile, brick, even walls at
home. Fresco painting is done by applying pure
pigments to wet plaster. When the plaster dries
the paint becomes a permanent part of the surface, resulting in a beautiful, soft
matte finish.
