There were 70 paintings displayed in the art gallery of a beautiful hotel in the center of Tbilisi. The room was filled with happy kids and proud parents. The event was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment Protection, which is where I’m assigned as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer.
The talent and insight of children never ceases to amaze me, the kids captured some really special moments and messages with their well-placed brush strokes. These are just a sampling of their work.
Each of the students who participated received certificates presented by the Deputy Minster of Environment Protection and a t-shirt designed by the sponsoring organizations.
I love that art allows their environmental messages to shine through no matter the differences in language and culture.
The last two paintings offer particularly poignant perspectives.

Hi Marci,
Believe it or not, the kids are 4-12! When I saw the paintings I though they were done by older kids. Excellent art ability for kids so young. Love all the colors, too.

I like the lady trying to fan off her hairy husband with fans that aren’t plugged in. I especially like her earrings and how they depicted the hair on the man. too funny. What age group is this?
