The Second Kids' Guernica at Kitakawasoe Elementary School, Japan


January 04, 2019   The second Kids’ Guernica painting was created by the sixth grade pupils of Kitakawasoe Elementary School in Saga-city, Japan last year. They appreciated the first Kids’ Guernica painting of their school. Then, they decided to make their own Kids’ Guernica to show many people to express the importance of peace and the tragedy of war. Each of them gave his/her own idea of their peace painting and discussed in detail to realize their images. They committed themselves to complete the painting. After finishing it, it was displayed at their school gym to show many people.

Kids' Guernica in Umm El Fahm, Israel


December 30, 2018     The Umm El Fahm Art Gallery, hosted artist Raymond Watson and a group of young people from the Arab Israeli town of Umm El Fahm, to create their 'Our World' Guernica. 
Umm El Fahm, Kids Guernika, (Israel) was completed with a great and creative group of local young people...as is clearly illustrated by the fantastic full scale image that they produced. Their painting references Picasso's famous Guernica anti war painting with bunting style flags. The group then created their own solar system and illustrated each planet with their bright hopes. Special thanks to assistants Yasmin, Angham and Bian; and of course all at the Umm El Fahm Art Gallery, for hosting the project.
