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.
