Bahraini Children creating the biggest painting

A TOTAL of 140 Bahraini children have together a global initiative to make the largest painting in the world that will be showcased at the Olympic Games in London next year.

Similar contributions are being completed in 57 other countries, where children get together and add their own creativity.

“The full size artwork will be assembled, folded and sent throughout DHL to London,” said Salman Cultural Centre head and project spokeswoman Salama Ateeq.

“Bahrain’s division of the whole massive painting will then be composed and sewn with works from other countries to create one big painting.”

The Bahraini children’s donation to the Biggest Painting in the World project is a 5m by 25m artwork that utilized 20 gallons of wall paint.

The project was organized at the centre, which falls under the umbrella of the General Organization for Youth and Sport , in co-ordination with Japan based non-profit organization Earth self Project.

The canvas painting, which took over a month to prepare and complete, included the role of children aged between three and six years.

A Goys officer said they continuously seek to organise activities and programmes to care for young talents and arrange an aware generation that contributes to the future development of Bahrain.

The event, sponsored by Zain Bahrain, was also supervised by fine arts specialists and teachers. To know more about kids painting
