Here is a nice little fresco called "the Arrival of a Circus in a Country Village" entirely made by the children of the Clichy Trinité quarter (an area of Paris located in the 9th and 18th arrondissement) under the guidance of Paule Pointreau, a teacher specializing in teaching fine arts to children. This fresco is located in front of "La Trinité" church (where I took the black and white photo 2 days ago) in order to hide works.
Charming; well done them for that artwork. However, i'd have preferred it to be sited away from the beautiful and ancient La Trinite and not obscuring its view.
ReplyDeleteI definitely do not mind the juxtaposition of the ancient La Trinite and the mural. Children have a gift for combining brilliant and vivid colours.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Love kids' art...so unbiased and free! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Eric! Long time no seeeeeeeeeee!
Hope you had a nice time in Normandy and are enjoying what's left of the holly daze madness! LOL!
Hugs!

My children would have loved to paint for such a fresco !!
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes like they are Eric,you always find some unexpected views. Have a nice week end, the last one for 2007...
Hey, I think I saw that uniform and hat at the Grand Palais!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my two nieces gave me two calendars with photos of Paris because they know I love the city so much. Not the PDP calendar, but I love them anyway. I think I have my own photos of me or friends in all the locations shown on my new calendars. What fun!
This kind of looks like something you'd find in a bad neighborhood. I like the art and I like the church, but I don't like the two together personally.
ReplyDeleteWell, Michael, Eric lives around there, n'est ce pas? Are you implying that makes it a bad neighborhood? LOL
ReplyDeleteGood work by children, creativity takes its roots from childhood :)

Not at all Jeff, it just kind of reminds me of something you'd find in a ghetto somewhere. I know that sounds terrible, but juxtaposed with the church, it just doesn't work for me. I can't explain it very well here...
ReplyDeleteCool pic!! I love your blog :-)
