EDUCATION FOR PEACE . <\/p>\n

A message from the Japan Art Mile Foundation<\/a>, received by email from Joanne Tawfilis<\/p>\n

This mural was born in the process of a Peace Study.<\/p>\n

Their town is located near City Nagasaki, where the second Atomic Bomb was dropped in 1945.<\/p>\n

The image of the painting was developed from “The Statue of Peace”; the symbol of Nagasaki Peace Park.<\/p>\n

His right hand stretching up means “the threat of the Atomic Bomb” and his left hand stretching horizontally shows “Peace”.<\/p>\n

Question for this article:<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

\n

Do the arts create a basis for a culture of peace?, What is, or should be, their role in our movement?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(continued from left column)<\/p>\n

The children tried to express their wishes for peace in the beautiful rainbow derived from the tip of the statue. <\/p>\n

The rainbow is a bridge for peace, extending to the bright future.<\/p>\n

The children poured their love into this mural, not only toward their home area but also toward our planet. <\/p>\n

They enclosed their wishes, hopes and dreams within this painting.<\/p>\n
