Katrina - Through the Eyes of Children



Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast 5 years ago (August 29, 2005). In 2007 the New Orleans Museum of Art held an exhibition called Katrina - Through the Eyes of Children.
The first image (blue swirling scribble) was created by a four-year-old boy after talking about his fear of not feeling safe. The second image was created by a young girl who said, "One day there was a hurricane and her name was Katrina. She was full of water and wind. She did bad damage. She destroyed my dad's truck and my house. It made me sad. The water was high and it was dirty. Full of fishes and dead dogs and humans."
