Frandy Jean, Haitian Painter

Today we were given a presentation on Haiti and Frandy's art. We  learned about Haiti and how people live, their culture, their place of work, their houses, etc. People there have a different way of life, they go everyday working on the streets and trying to support their family and trying to make money to send their children to school. Children there go to school for 16 years rather than 12 as we do here. Frandy makes jewelry and was inspired by the earthquake, he makes his beads for the jewelry from paper. His paintings are mainly from water colors and are very detailed. Today I learned a lot and it was very interesting to  see Haiti and the artwork Frandy makes!
