The selected works (see below) from participating artists, who are all in their prathom years, were announced back on Dec 7 last year, and not only do they show the kids' impressive drawing skills, but also their perception of Thai politics.
Kasidit Boonchalakulkosol from Patumthani, in prathom 3, drew a big white pigeon carrying two peasants in the air, and captures the role that watching TV plays in the current political climate with his drawing of a man waving a Thai flag in front of a television.
But perhaps the most stark image comes in from the work by Pitaya Thongsai from Surat Thani: a pencil-colored picture that shows gunfire exchange and grenade throwing amid a clash between protestors and police officers beside a blocked road.
The release of these images come just after a Suan Dusit opinion poll showed that 89 percent of Thai children were not interested in a career in politics.
