Fresco painting is the technique of apply paint and fresh plaster to a wall in order to obtain a finished painting that is durable and appears to be "part of the wall". There are lots of variations on the technique and plenty of example. the Last supper by DaVinci is just one example.
'fresco' = fresh, fresh/open air
'pintura al fresco' = painting outdoors/in the open air
'el fresco' can also 'the fresco' (or border) as in English,
e.g. 'a fresco by Michelangelo'
'Cool' or 'fresh' may be common English equivalents of 'fresco', however if you are referring to art, then the proper term is 'wall-painting'. The Italian word is pronounced 'FREH-skoh'. It's the masculine form of an adjective. The feminine form, 'fresca', is pronounced 'FREH-skah'.
The word fresco in Italian means 'fresh' in English. This art form is called fresco because it is painted on wet plaster. The paint and the plaster dry together.
