Children Around the World Join "Kids' Guernica" Project
C hildren across the world, including France, Japan, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, the Republic of Korea, and the United States, are making a plea for peace on huge canvases, just as the artist
Pablo Picasso did with his masterpiece Guernica during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.
His work protested against the brutality of bombing in the town of Guernica during that war. In the case of Kids’ Guernica, the participant children express powerful messages of peace with their creativity and imagination, which contribute to world peace in the 21st century.
D ubbed "Kids' Guernica," the project originated with Art Japan, a Kyoto-based organization that produces art programs for children, in 1995. Tadashi Yasuda, who heads Art Japan, said he asked children around the world through the Internet to depict their images of peace on a canvas measuring 3.5 meters by 7.8 meters (11 1/2 feet by 25 1/2 feet)--the same size as Picasso's
Guernica.
E lementary school children in the Republic of Korea, for instance, drew a painting of children holding hands. Children from the earthquake-stricken city of Kobe portrayed the natural surroundings of their hometown in Hyogo Prefecture.
Y asuda is planning to exhibit all submitted works at the Children's mitted thus far by children from six different countries.
KIDS' GUERNICA is a symbol of hope for peace.
Pablo Picasso created his masterpiece, Guernica, more than sixty years ago but the world has been still full of terror and sorrow. However, even in a desperate situation, smiling faces of innocent children can always give us hope.
Further information about "Kids' Guernica" is available at: http://www.artjapan.com/
