Together in Art Kids is an online project run by the Art Gallery of New South Wales. It launched in May to inspire children’s creativity while they isolated with their families. Children aged five to 12 were invited to create a piece of art using materials in their home, on a theme chosen by a high-profile artist, and submit it for inclusion in an online exhibition. The Indonesian-Australian artist Jumaadi chose the theme ‘special to me’, saying: ‘As children here in Australia begin to return to school, many more children around the world remain isolated from their friends and community and we are all experiencing a mix of emotions.’ Jumaadi said he liked to create pictures of his loved ones during difficult times as it brought him comfort. Here are some of the children’s contributions
