How is the Fresco Painting Technique Done?

The fresco painting technique is a method of painting onto freshly applied plaster, allowing the pigments to become a permanent part of the wall or ceiling. In the USA, Grade 8 students learn about this ancient art form in their art classes. The process involves applying a layer of plaster mixed with pigment onto a wall or ceiling. As the plaster dries, the pigments become embedded, creating vibrant and long-lasting artworks. This technique requires careful planning and skillful execution to achieve stunning results.

For Grade 8 students in the USA, learning the fresco painting technique can be both educational and inspiring.
