What constitutes a “mural”?
A mural by definition is a painting that is done directly on a wall regardless of size or paint used by the artist. There is some controversy in the art world today about murals that are first painted on canvas then glued to walls. Some believe that a mural on canvas is not a mural but instead it is a painting. My personal feeling is that because the painting is attached with glue to the wall, that it then becomes a mural. The reason I feel this way is because wall board (gypsum) is covered with paper, which ultimately is primed then painted. Adding canvas on top of the paint, primer, paper & gypsum is merely adding another layer to the structure.
