CHILDREN'S ART- SOMETHING TO TREASURE

DaVinci, Vermeer, Peter Paul Rubins....yes, they all have been immortalized on numerous stamps by numerous countries, but more recently, a focus on the art of children has charmed the philatelic world. Stamp design competitions for school children, themed contests (e.g. "Drawing World Peace", etc.) have drawn thousands of young artists to the attention not only to the curators of art museums, but to the stamp collecting public.

Colorful, whimsical, and thoughtful are only a few of the adjectives that come to mind viewing young artists' stamp designs on serious topics such as world peace, disarmament, and ecology and even lighter topics such as friendship, caring for animals, sports, and games.

These stamps and can be enjoyed by young and old alike, and can bring a touch of charm, fun, and diversity to any collection! You can search with keywords "childrens' art" or "child art" at www.stampcenter.com to see these masterpieces.
