Room 13

I just discovered Room 13, a kid's art program at Harbourfront that's "run by kids". What's cool about it is that instead of just asking for donations, you can buy the artwork they create, but it'll cost you 50 bucks a pop.

I really enjoy the chicken-like figure flying headfirst into the clouds, the Mexican style hat, and the flower coming out of the airplane. Also how the 00 in 2008 was merely an afterthought. Kids are so original.

After extensive googling today, I discovered that an art exhibit I saw in Bangkok last summer was actually a father/son show by Dansoueng and Dol Sangvoravechapan. The program being in Thai, I just assumed that the work was done by an adult in an intentionally juvenile style. Apparently, children have their place in galleries too.

In Korea, I noticed that 5 year old boys only draw dinosaurs and vehicles, whereas girls tend to draw people and flowers. For the most part, the boys drawings were far more interesting, so I'm finally putting some online. Apparently professional artists are using the same style. Rawr!
