Design Resource Introduction

Wall Painting
Using the Wall as a Canvas
A few thousand years, before the dawn of history when man was only a cave dweller, he painted his rock shelters
by
to express and satisfy his aesthetic sensitivity and creative urge. These walls served the purpose of recording
Prof.Sumant Rao and Ruchi Shah animals, hunting and daily life in the civilization. In today’s context, apart from serving its purpose of carrying
IDC, IIT Bombay information, a wall painting covers multiple functions like - defining and decorating a space, branding or artistic
expression and public expression through community gatherings. For instance, a wall painting was created within
Facebook’s office in India, they are being done on the Tulsi pipe road in Mumbai to beautify it, or they are de-
signed to add to the exotic interiors of restaurants.

In this section we shall see how a wall is painted for an indoor space. Before we trace the process let us glance

Design Resource History of Wall Painting

Wall Painting
Using the Wall as a Canvas
Wall paintings can be called Murals. They can be created by working directly onto a wall. A characteristic of mu-
by
rals is the way they incorporate architectural elements seamlessly into the artwork. Murals dating right from the
Prof.Sumant Rao and Ruchi Shah Upper Paleolithic Age to the Egyptian era have been discovered. The word ‘mural’ became more popularly used
IDC, IIT Bombay after the Mexican ‘ Muralista’ Art Movement.

From all the various styles and methods of creating wall paintings – ‘Murals’; the best known technique is the
fresco, which combines a lime wash and natural water soluble colours. Ajanta – Ellora caves, caves from the Kai-
mur range, some parts of Uttar Pradesh and the rock shelters of Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh are the earliest
evidences of wall paintings in India.

Design Resource Distance

Wall Painting
Using the Wall as a Canvas
Size and distance have to be understood carefully. If the wall is huge and located outdoors on a road, the area
by from which it can be viewed is more. This opens a possibility that the visual can be more bold and bigger, with
Prof.Sumant Rao and Ruchi Shah fewer details. It could also be created in a way where the entire visual should be visible only when viewed from
IDC, IIT Bombay a distance. But indoors, one has to consider the lighting the architectural elements, since the area for viewing is
lesser, the visual could be bold, but could have some details.

Prof.Sumant Rao and Ruchi Shah natural, artificial, dull or blindingly bright? Can we use any of these qualities to our advantage while making the

Design Resource Creating the Visual

Wall Painting
Using the Wall as a Canvas
It could be treated differently by different artists depending on their chosen theme. The choice will obviously de-
by pend upon the nature of the space and its audience. Whether it is a school, or an office, or just a fun community
Prof.Sumant Rao and Ruchi Shah activity in the city centre. The visual could be socially relevant, or just a drawing of favourite idols, or even a way
IDC, IIT Bombay to express personal opinions. A visual can be sketched out effectively to suit the space and communicate what-
ever the artist wishes to. He has to decide which elements need to be big, which remain small and detailed, the
flow of eye movement across the visual and the parts of the visual that could be exaggerated. Colours should be
well thought of, does the visual demand vibrancy or just the boldness of black and white?

A lot of street painting artists create and compose directly onto the wall, and their creations are an intuitive
Source: form of expression. This process is similar to an artist creating a work of art on a canvas. But just as in any design
http://www.dsource.in/resource/wall-painting/cre- process, if a mural needs to be created for a specific function or purpose, following a process helps. So a good un-
ating-visual derstanding of the distance of viewing and the space along with the theme can give birth to a good design and
help in the execution to bring this design to fruition.
