The trauma of tsunami has inspired some remarkable child art. The beautiful paintings drawn by children depict their reactions to a catastrophe like tsunami and how they view their immediate environment and the world after the December 2004 Asian tsunami. Some 280 children from 85 schools of coastal Tamil Nadu (India), Maldives and Sri Lanka took part in the six on-the-spot art contests organized by the Bay of Bengal Programme Inter-Governmental Organisation during August-December 2005. The theme of the contest was “Life after Tsunami”.
