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.

The Design Process

Once the Corps groups decided on the poses for the design, we began cutting out the figures and playing with scale, masking, and patterns. We began by choosing patterns in nature and from existing Anthropologie clothing, and incorporating them into the figure. Some figures even had two or three separate patterns and we as a group had to choose the one we liked overall. Then each student began designing the space around the figure, once again incorporating these found patterns.

The process was so detail oriented and meticulous that in the end, the design photoshop file, consisted of close to 100 layers and was 500MB in size!
