What is a street art mural?
A mural is a large image that is placed on a building wall or other surface. It beautifies the urban environment and makes it diverse and unique.
Artists from different disciplines can be involved in the creation of murals. Most often, they are masters of street art with extensive experience. The ability to work in the style of ordinary graffiti is not enough here.
To express ideas on the street and attract everyone attention , you need:
- a large wall on which you can put a picture;
- special equipment and supplies;
- different materials and colors;
- great experience in creating murals.
How can we make street art murals?
This process consists of the following steps:
- development of the concept for the mural and its design;
- preparing the surface: creating a painting surface on which a numbered grid can be applied;
- making a sketch and rough outlines of a drawing;
- underpainting with a primer that contrasts or blends with the upper layers of paint;
- painting with a spray can: in this phase the mural gets a finished look.

FAQS
The popularity of tape art is growing steadily, not least because it has established itself as a good alternative to various other urban art styles. Artworks made of tape often look more spectacular than, for example, classical graffiti. Tape is also easier to handle and can be removed if necessary. We mainly use very common types of tape which are usually flexible and waterproof at the same time. They can be brought into shape with a few simple handles and are also available in an almost unparalleled variety of colors. Thus, various hue gradations can be implemented. The tapes remain colorfast even after processing. Apart from cutters and a few rolls of tape we usually do not need any other tools for creating our artworks. And it takes relatively little time to do it. We hardly produce any rubbish or waste.
No one thinks of becoming a tape artist from the outset. Before we began taping almost all of us (Selfmadecrew members) tried out fine arts with a brush or spray can. Until we finally discovered the right thing for us: rolls of adhesive tape. And we would take to tape like a duck to water! Colorful vs. transparent, matt vs. shiny, wide vs. slim, any variety with its own texture that inspires and fuels all of us. But we don’t allow ourselves to delve too much into theory. By going out to the streets and working there with tape, we receive instant feedback. We get people‘s reactions and emotions right away – something invaluable to us.
