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!

“Everyone in the class created an individual piece of artwork that became a part of the mural. Each painting on the mural represents kindness in an artistic way. We looked at some murals done by Chagall and books about Thai culture to gather ideas. All of our paintings together are designed to look like a Thai village. You will notice lots of gold paint on our mural. We added this because we often see gold paint in Thai art and on temples.”

“Kindness is showing someone special that you care.”

“Kindness is a gesture of peace and equality. If you are giving and caring, not only will you make a difference in your community, but in yourself. You will be looked up to by children and depended on by adults. This is what our mural is trying to show to people around the world.”
