To promote Human Values through Education & Culture
The exhibition is a collection comprising of more than 100,000 artworks, contains not only the overflowing energy and innocence of youth, but also speaks of freedom, being created with no hint of studied technique. The works are full of beauty, are powerfully moving and are filled with the vibrancy of life through the eyes and mind of children....innocent, creative and inventive. And more than anything, they speak of the joy that blossoms when wars end.
Glancing through the artworks, you will notice the rich tones in the skies. Very few of the children use standard colours. The harmony of pink and yellow found in some of the paintings express transparency, while the graduation from ultra marine blue to tan found in others creates a sense of drama. Of course many of the tones can be found in the real sky. But going beyond that, children paint the colours they sense in their hearts and so the sky becomes unique.
The exhibition in Dubai had 147 paintings on display. These paintings represented 134 countries including the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Egypt in the Middle east.
