Childish Charming Colors

Children's Painting Exhibition

Afsoon Lashai's Students
Maryam Biglari as Assistant

The exhibition, "Childish Charming Colors ", is a collection of my students’ works, ranging from 4 to 11 years old. The goal to showcase these works is to encourage and motivate children to do painting, which will enhance their intelligence and personality. What looks first at the exhibition is color. Pure and attractive colors which painted with childish enthusiasm. Painting is the second language of children and they encode colors in their own language in their works.

This collection is divided into three parts. The first part consists of illustration based on a story that has been narrated for them.

The second part, which is the main part of my work with children, includes their free expression of the works of each artist in the history of art. Occasionally, the child enters his or her favorite elements in the masterpiece of the great artists such as Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso, Chagall, Andy Warhol, etc. , sometimes creating her own world according to the artist’s characteristics style which was studied in the art class.

The third part, which is the special section of the exhibition on the opening night, includes the improvisation of students, due to the live music performed by Mr. Farzin Tehraniyan. Here, the spontaneous color will take shape, and the painting goes beyond "representing" and takes the color and light option.
