A giant painting is called a mural. You can hire someone or do it yourselves.





To do it yourselves, do a bit of research on some do-it-yourself sites as to techniques. One method is to draw 1 foot squares on the wall and 1 inch squares on your original drawing. On the wall, paint everything you see in each square on the drawing. Another method would be to use an overhead projector, slide projector or video projector to get your drawing up on the wall, then just paint what you see.





I've linked a couple Instructables pages where people have done their own murals for nursery walls.
