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!

#24 Mounds Park Academy

Renee Wright’s Third Grade
St. Paul, Minnesota
2006-2007

Teacher Renee Wright and her students explain:
“In section one we wanted to represent nature, so we drew a bunny and a fish in its natural habitat. We wanted to include nature because nature brings people with different experiences and views together. We drew two hands in the lower left corner. One hand was forming a peace sign while the other was giving the sign language sign for “I love you.” This demonstrated our desire for peace and love throughout the world. We also painted a heart and people holding hands to symbolize the cooperation between different countries and the love between them. We drew two people exchanging gifts to represent the kindness and sharing between different nations.”

“In section two we painted a rainbow, which symbolizes friendship between people of different backgrounds and skin color. The two people in our mural are looking toward the sky and toward the future of a unified globe.”

“The placement of a heart between two globes shows our hope of a global community centered on love for other nations and the world as a whole.”

“This mural means a lot to me and I hope it spreads peace throughout the world.”
