Shedding light.
(From Bangkok Post)
Byline: Story by KARNJARIYA SUKRUNG
The painting shows a bright yellow centre over a brilliant red background. It depicts a yellow star's wonderful brightness, said its 13-year-old creator, who is blind.
There are some 20 other children's paintings here at the Bangkok School for the Blind. One shows rectangular boxes in a line _ a train. In another, beans and grains are glued to paper in a creative shape that suggests a tree.
It's not every day that you see art created by blind people. It took off at the school thanks to Pongpan Chantanamattha and five other artists who wanted to help the children to investigate hitherto unexplored aspects of their creativity.
It's common for blind children to learn how to create craft objects. They learn to string beads in certain given styles, for instance, in order to make necklaces and other adornments.
That's great, says Pongpan, a 28-year-old sculptor at the Department of Fine Arts, but it leaves little room for personal creativity or self-expression.
