This Spring, two Mural Corps classes, headed by Eric Okdeh and Kien Nguyen, are hard at work painting a mural for Anthropologie. The mural will be on display for two months at their flagship store at Rockefeller Center in New York City. This blog is photo and video journal of the students' progress, and was created to capture all of the work that is going into this unique mural making opportunity.

Initial Design Meeting




On January 7th, Missy Peltz and her team from Anthropologie paid our Corps class a visit to discuss ideas for our murals theme. Both Corps classes were on hand to contribute as well. The process was very democratic, after we made a list of our ideas, everyone got to vote on the 5 they felt was most important. The themes with the most votes became our focus. In the end the mural's design would
  • relate to fashion/Anthropologie aesthetic
  • reflect creativity
  • make the ordinary extraordinary
  • come from a youth perspective
  • be vibrant and colorful
  • be multilayered
  • incorporate photography
  • be largely figurative
Here is a slideshow of imagery from the afternoon
