Artist Creates Intricate Mud Paintings On School Walls To Bring Art Into Villager Children’s Lives

ADVERTISEMENT

Beautiful mud paintings depicting a universe filled with plants, animals and people covered the walls of a classroom at a school in Sujata Village, India. Japanese artist Yusuke Asai painted this work of art in the Niranjana School in order to raise awareness of how the children and villagers of Bihar live. His work is so intricate and detailed that it creates a completely immersive experience for its viewers. To create this painting, Asai used local dirt, dust, ash, and straw as a way to symbolize and respect the land that local farmers depend upon for their livelihoods.

After exhibiting the mud paintings, Asai worked together with the children to wipe away his work, returning the material to the soil and teaching the students the meaning of life as a cycle.

What a meaningful initiative and what mesmerizing art! Are you as impressed as I am?

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
