Muralism has become a substantial part of the creative economy in the UK. Though murals were once decried as graffiti, the movement has evolved and pieces are now considered valuable pieces of art. Despite this, there is no formal training or qualifications in muralism. The goal of this project was to develop a curriculum to support a qualification in muralism in England. A formal pathway would give aspiring artists the opportunity to easily develop the skills needed for a public art career. Based on the Scottish Qualification Authority’s higher national diploma, we developed a structure and outline for a curriculum in muralism rooted in project work and practical applications. We recommend that Wood Street Walls continue to develop this curriculum and seek accreditation through the SQA.
