Chris Cantell Discusses - Art Live: Art like any other by Zuzana Fabcinova

It seemed like normal art show opening. Eager children showing their creations to proud parents and other family members & nothing surprising about that. Just those children were a bit different, although not at first sight. After getting to know them closer you find out that their inner struggle with emotional or social disabilities didn't influenced their talent, creativity and pure joy of life at all.Since its foundation in 1950s, Children Health Council School has done almost incredible for children with minor or major disabilities. Disabled Children no longer have to leave their families for an institution where they would be treated like something weird, something to be ashamed of. Children have both presence, support and love of their parents and help and leading of teachers and therapists.The school has provided even more recently & a possibility of self-realization for the children. By creating artistic objects like paintings, sculptures or photographs, they learn how to transform their ideas into reality, or how to cooperate, when they work on group projects. Art also offers a chance to express themselves without words and to present their thoughts confidently to people. Creating art with concentration of whole your mind always make you forget about your own problems and distracts you from reality. And that is what those children often need.And now the school has decided to make an exhibition of more than 200 artworks. Seeing it will make children feel that it was worth the effort, appreciating their works will make them feel useful and will bring hope. And that is what we want, isn't it?
