JOSEPH FERRARIS-MEREL'S PAINTINGS




Joseph ( 4 years old), draws colored images showing the California forest fires as seen from a young child’s eyes. This is evidence that children are affected by what they see on TV especially the news. Done in bold strokes and strong colors on handmade paper, these small artworks send a strong signal from a very young boy his age who was concerned about the occurrence and the reality of this and any other calamities affecting us.

This piece of art was exhibited in the family group show IT RUNS IN THE BLOOD at Sara Sene Gallery, Hong Kong in 2008.

Hi Tita,

Thanks for visiting this blog dedicated to the kids. I do hope all are happy with this art project.

Art is a tool that could aid in shaping the direction of children and it is through art too that we could somehow understand them for here they express their thoughts.

I hope that this initial art activity for the young ones would help them to decide for their future and a good start, with the help of our Almighty God the Father through Lord Jesus Christ, in shaping their future careers.
