This art exhibition brings together 120 artworks created by students from schools across the West Bank, spanning all age groups. A joint initiative by the Palestinian Museum and the Ministry of Education, the exhibition forms part of the Ministry’s broader vision to nurture students’ artistic sensitivity and aesthetic awareness. It seeks to encourage exploration, to spark critical thinking about both Palestinian and international visual art movements, and to deepen visual literacy while celebrating the role of Palestinian artists in shaping global art discourse.

The exhibition reflects the creative diversity of students at every educational level.
Children in grades 1 to 4 approached the theme “I Portray Myself as a Famous Figure”, engaging in a tender exploration of self-image, where each drawing becomes a window into how heroism and uniqueness dwell in their young features.

Students in grades 5 to 9 embarked on a visual dialogue with the works of artist Jawad Ibrahim. Guided by their teachers and Ministry supervisors, they immersed themselves in his colour palettes, lines, and artistic methods, while delving into the ideas that animate his visual world.

Meanwhile, students in grades 10 and 11 took on a mural project inspired by “The River of Life” by the renowned artist Mustafa al-Hallaj. They explored his techniques, tools, and symbolic language, drawing closer to the humanistic and mythic qualities that define his art.

In celebration of this creative journey, the Palestinian Museum and the Ministry of Education proudly present the students’ winning works within the Museum’s galleries, where vision is shaped by experience, and where young artists stand side by side with their predecessors, walking together toward the light, toward Palestine, and the eternal promise of return.
