Drawing2811/138

Children's drawing on legal size off-white paper. On the front, a scene has been drawn based around an oblong, curved blue and yellow shape that likely represents a river or lake. To the left of the water, in the upper left of the page, is a pink, yellow, and purple building that likely represents a church due to the pink cross that has been drawn at the top of the structure. Directly below this building is a rudimentary drawing of a helicopter. The helicopter contains three human figures and there is a larger red figure standing on the canopy. There is a second small structure with a cross below the helicopter, and it contains a single human figure. Above the body of water, three grassy mounds have been drawn, along with five human figures, several trees, and a second helicopter. Below the body of water, three pink human figures have been drawn, and the word "esperansa" has been written in pencil. There are four human figures in the water itself. On the reverse, a square object divided into four sections with pink lines has been drawn and appears to be incomplete.

Drawing2811/136

Children's drawing on legal size off-white paper, using pencil and wax crayon. The top of the page contains an inscription that reads "Martes 18 de octubre de 1983 sociales tema hacer un dibujo como viviamos en el salvador". Below this, a green, blue, and red helicopter has been drawn. A house that appears to be burning has been drawn below the helicopter to the left side, and it appears as though the helicopter is shooting at one or more of the four human figures that have been drawn near the house. There is an oblong blue shape in the middle of the composition which may represent a river. This body of water contains a floating human figure, two fish, and a standing soldier figure in green pointing a black and blue gun at the figures near the house. A second soldier figure in green with a large brown gun has been drawn at the bottom of the composition.
