United Nations Mosaic

Art for Peace picture
Artist: Nu U.
Location: Chiang Mai, Thailand
Age: 11
"This artwork was made during a collaboration between Art Relief International and the Stratton ABC Foundation based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. During an art class, we taught the children about the United Nations and the UN Arts for Peace Contest, as well as about the history and dangers of Nuclear Warfare. The children worked in the medium of tile mosaics. In many ways, making a mosaic is a lot like creating global world peace: you must find ways for all of the individual pieces to fit and only when all the pieces come together is the image whole. Plus, it takes a LOT of patience! Maybe if all of our world leaders were to get together to collectively work on creating a global mosaic art project, the world might be a more peaceful place!
