About the Mural Photo Gallery

In an effort to showcase the incredible Kindness Murals created and to further connect children throughout the world, we have posted a picture of each completed mural along with the descriptions of these murals if they were provided. We have also noted the artists responsible by name of school, group, family, or organization, the school year they were completed, and where they are in the world. This blog format invites all of our participants worldwide and visitors to our blog to see children's visions of kindness and to comment on specific murals if they choose. We hope this format will further the goal of creating global harmony through art and allow us all to envision a kind, peaceful world.
A special thank you to all of our participants. Your work and visions of kindness are a true inspiration!

“We based this mural on the quote, ‘The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.’ To represent this we painted trees with the earth under the shade of the two connected trees.”

“I liked working on the mural because our class did it together. When we finished the project, I realized is was very good because all of our art was put together in it. We all put our skills together.”

“I think it is very interesting that children all over the world will see our mural. Hopefully our mural will instill the feeling of kindness in children everywhere.”
