KID'S MURALS
Kids Murals: A Long Tradition in Art
The history of kids murals dates to ancient times with paintings in southern France and the work of the American Indians. But the term became famous with the Mexican muralista art movement (Diego Rivera , David Siqueiros , or José Orozco).
Here in Southern California you are probably most familiar with our many outdoor murals and you might associate an indoor mural with works like Michelangelo's famous Creation or Last Judgment, both adorning the inside of the Sistine Chapel. Today, the indoor kids mural is most often used to open up a wall by extending an outdoor landscape or by transforming a space into an exotic jungle, an ancient place or a scenic mountaintop.
Techniques used in Kids Murals
Kids Murals can be done in many techniques. The best-known is probably " fresco ", which uses water soluble paints with a damp lime wash. Kids Murals today may be painted with acrylics or water based media and be applied by brush or spray.
Some of the most striking kids murals are done in mosaic tile. Each technique does as much to present your creative ideas as does the subject matter of the work.
