Mural painting is an offshoot of the devotional tradition of Keralam. A mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface. In the contemporary scenario Mural painting is not restricted to the permanent structures and are being done even on canvas. Keralam mural paintings are the frescos depicting mythology and legends, which are drawn on the walls of temples and churches in South India, principally in Keralam. Ancient temples, churches and places in Keralam, South India, display an abounding tradition of mural paintings mostly dating back between the 9th to 12th centuries when this form of art enjoyed Royal patronage. Learning Mural painting through the theory and practice workshop is the objective of this course.
