The art department of GCSU invited Judy Baca to hold a day-long workshop for Advanced Painting Students on March 5, 2009 to learn the techniques, practice and theory that she has cultivated over her 30+ years as an artist and teaches her UCLA class, Beyond the Mexican Mural.  Though it would be impossible for a one-day workshop to cover as much material as a full ten- to twenty-week course, Baca's workshops are in depth and rigorous.  In only 5 hours, she was able to turn twenty individual art students into one mural team moving from "Affinity Groups" to sketches to full composition and finally blue-line on the wall.  Their professors will see them through paint application.
