What Do You Know About Mural Art?Mural art is a form of art painted on walls and large surfaces. It is one of the oldest types of artwork in the world. Murals can be seen in public places such as schools, hospitals, streets, and community centres. They are often used to send messages, tell stories, or make places more attractive.
In the listening, Hani talks about his experience as a mural artist. He started by drawing in his notebook, but he felt his drawings were too small.
