I love the artwork of children. I'm always so in awe of it. The imagination, the bold use of colors, the subtext, the storytelling. So, I was quite intrigued and thrilled to find out that the Korean artist Yeondoo Jung was turning the drawings of children into reality. I simply loved the idea.
From the source - Design Boom: "The artwork of children is fascinating on many levels. However, their uninhibited imagination is not always very true to reality. So when Korean artist Yeondoo Jung set out to turn the drawings of 5-7 year old children into reality, some interesting environments were sure to arise. After he collected over 1,000 drawings, a few were selected and turned into reality through a series of photo shoots titled 'wonderland'. The results are just as fascinating as the original drawings."
Take a look...
"The magician turned the whale into a flower"
"He didn't sleep for three days"
"Princess Twins"
"Little Red Riding Hood"
"Sleeping Beauty"
"The Rich & Poor"
How absolutely wonderful. It must have been so much fun to do.

What a great concept. I'm going to post some juvenalia from my son today. I'm inspired.

I am struck by the similarity of childrens' art all over the world. I taught Kindergarten in several countries and there was always a similarity. What a delightful concept. I wonder what the children thought of the pictures.
