WALL MURAL


ART REALISED IN AN AREA — SPACE DESIGN
PAINTING DONE UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF ARTIST COLLECTIVE — THE TRESSPASSERS 




REVAMPING THE ADMIN SPACE:

As part of the Srishti Manipal Interim, I, along with a group of people worked on a month long project involving wall painting and bringing a breath of fresh and new air to our new campus. Tasked with bringing life to the admin area, a drab and gray spot which truly is the heart of our college and campus, I led a group of students to revamp the area with imagery decided after a lot of research and interviews with our target audience. 

After everything, we decided to go with a fantastical and nature themed world, with which we covered all 4-5 walls of the large interior space, transforming it from a once empty big area to a comfortable and relaxing area for students and faculty alike to take a break and unwind. 

Over the month, we had a huge learning process, learning how wall paints interact and work differently, and how to effectively and cleverly use the huge space while maintaining consistency amongst the 20-so students. We also kept in mind how the light fell on the space and the walls, and the viewing angles from the ground floor and the campus courtyard.

The entrance to the entire space, creatively adapting the windows and the space as the train which invites you into the space, ready to take you into a journey. The train leads to a fantastical space as seen in the other photos, which leads to the jungle like space and the seaworld on the ceiling.

Started mapping out the space, applying concept and logical thinking to understand how the illustration could wrap around the walls and communicate the feeling we are going for, without alienating the audience.

Spending day and night in the campus, working 12-13 hours everyday for a few weeks was an exhuasting experience but brought the team together, and we made lasting bonds through this time. This entire project was a culmination of really creative interventions, tricks and workarounds, along with hardowrk and ideas of more than a dozen art students from multiple disciplines. It really stands its place for the years to come in Srishti’s history.
