The Garifuna Culture
The Garifuna culture are a group of people of African descent rooted in Honduras where they colonized in the 1700's. As the years went on many were had ideas of what life must be like in other places and migrated in the sea to Belize. Eventually, they spread out to other countries to like Guatemala, Nicaragua,  El Salvador, and the United States. The Garifuna culture is divided over its traditions between those who embrace their traditions and those who don't in countries that provide the opportunity to live sustainably.

Kidzu Kid's Museum

The cool kid that couldn't keep his painting got his painting back. It really is amazing what we can do digitally now. My good friend Cecilia got to see her son paint his first painting as part of a group that Kidzu Museum and The Frank Gallery hosted for his class. The group painting was one where the students all painted together on the same canvas in different colors. Each student chose a color that they thought displayed the emotions they had that day. This was inspired by professional artist Murray Handler whose painting these kids analyzed just before they began to paint together. You can see the paintings they were inspired by at the link with this to the Connectivity Series of paintings. The only bummer about the painting they did is that none of the kids  got to keep the painting because  it was just one painting made by a group of kids so the museum got to keep it. Cecilia was hoping she could get a print of the painting and all she had was a one megabyte jpeg photo from her iphone4 so I asked her if she could email it to me to see what I could do. I did some photoshop color improvements and some enlarging measures before giving the improvement to a friend of mine who did the final photoshop work and printing.

We literally replicated the painting onto the exact same size canvas as the original and adjusted the colors in a way that the people at Kidzu thought the colors possibly looked better than the original. The printer who printed this for us did a great job. Rami was reunited with his painting after thinking he wouldn't be able to keep his art once it was put on the wall at the Frank Gallery the day the original was made. The image above is the iphone4 photo Cecilia shot of the painting once we were able to do various improvements to the color to get the photo looking like the original painting. We did this before upsizing the image size without any loss in quality so we could print the replication to the exact specs as the original painting. The paintings this was inspired by are at this link to the Connective Series. http://www.murryhandler.com/galleries/connectivity-series
