Walls and Wide Spaces
Have you tried painting on walls and other wide spaces? I have tried once when I was a third grader. It was actually a school wide activity. Students from different grade years were chosen by several teachers to do the wall artworks. I guess it was a newly finished perimeter fence and the school was encouraging students to develop their arts skills and put them to practical use. In this case, the students’ wall paintings would serve as the design around the campus.
It was quite different from my previous drawing experiences at that time since it was the first time to paint images permanently on a concrete wall. The challenge was mainly about the high possibility of running paint so paint must be applied just enough to prevent it from running down all over while still be enough to complete the paint amount needed for the design.
I have a friend who have done wall murals for different local establishments. It is an arduous task she says and the challenge for these types of works of arts is that it must be pleasant and at the same time beautiful and fitting for the type of business it serves.
Many establishments like casinos use mural paintings to design their walls (unless its an online casino that does not require real walls and buildings anymore. It probably gives a festive mood on the place, using brilliant and attractive colors to set the mood.
