What layers do you notice about this painting?
What draws you in to take a closer look? Does the painting evoke a feeling?

Sometimes painting an idea involves a progressive transformation that begins with skeletal structures and ends with an emotional connection. This journey moves from the initial lines (structure) to the physical form (volume and depth), eventually achieving engagement (viewer interaction and narrative).

Exploring Light Colors, Reflections and shadows.

We have been investigating our BooBoos for over a year now, and we have discovered that there are many types of BooBoos: scrapes, bruises, cuts, bone booboos (fractures), booboos that leave no mark on the skin but hurt, booboos that cause us to cry, booboos that need care, and now we think that even the leaves from trees show signs of having booboos! Could it be?
One thing that we all agree on based on our experiences over time, is that booboos seem to heal!

Hi, my name is Laila and I’m a teacher at Synapse Atelier. This year, at the end of Summer Break, I got a beautiful surprise visit from my brother and I got to share with him some of the sights of Los Angeles. In turn my brother invited me to try new foods and visit new spaces in Los Angeles and what a great reminder that there is always more to learn, and grow from our interactions! We loved the Masala Chai from Aladin Sweets (Bangladeshi Cuisine), the Cheese Fatayer from Marouch Restaurant (Lebanese & Armenian Cuisine), and the Picanha from Nossa Caipirinha Bar (Southern Brazilian Cuisine)! Life is filled with precious moments! That’s what children teach us!

To the children, block building is fluid, joy, engaging, collaborative, evolving, inspirational, living values, a reflection of their diverse thoughts, expression of art.….“At its roots, architecture exists to create the physical environment in which people live, but architecture is more than just the built environment, it’s also a part of our culture. It stands as a representation of how we see ourselves, as well as how we see the world.”Oct 18, 2019 - George Vangelatos - https://hmcarchitects.com
