Talk:Mural

Confusing
The first few sentences are confusing (me).

First: Mural = art on a permanent wall

Second: Has to incorporate architecture harmoniously

Third: Wallpainting may be done on canvas and then attached to the wall

So now I remain wondering ... Is a mural the same as a wall painting or even a wall painting just one kind of mural ? And what about that second requirement ? Is a wall painting that does not incorporate any architecture not a mural ? I think that could/should be expressed in such a way that the reader understands it without any doubt remaining.

I find the end this passage in History confusing: "The best-known is probably fresco, which uses water-soluble paints with a damp lime wash, rapid use of the resulting mixture over a large surface, and often in parts (but with a sense of the whole)." Does it mean it was completed in discrete parts but conceived as a whole? Hephae3tion (talk) 18:00, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

A while ago I tried to improve this page by making it clear that a mural has to be on a wall. My edit was described as vandalism and removed. While it's patent nonsense that a mural can be anywhere else than on a wall, the article now says that it can, and without any authoritative citation. No wonder you find it confusing.

Difference between mural and graffiti
What exactly is the difference between mural and graffiti? Both are using many techniques (scretching, painting, spraying,..), both are artistic and sometimes not, both existing since ancient times!? Thx --W like wiki good to know 09:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
