Mayan Art Part 1
The last days I have watched very closely the process of development of an artistic painting made for authentic Mayan hands. 
This painting represents the importance of education and the role that public educative institutions play in the process of helping poor societies to overcome social injustices particularly in the context of the Mayan society. The painting is been made for Jose Armando Jimenez who is a professor and well known artistic painter in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo. Armando is a genuine Mayan descendant born in here in Quintana Roo who has dedicated his life to retreat the Mayan life through his work.
This piece is a mural which is a kind of painting that arose in Mexico in the middle of the past century and
had some of their most important exponents in Mexican painters among we can mention Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros for example. This technique consists of big paintings made in public building’s walls offering mostly political or social points of view from the painter. This kind of art expression was thought to be used as an educative mean and to be accessible for all people independently of their economical or educative background.
In these two pictures we can appreciate the wall previously cleaned and the first outlines of the mural; in some days I will post the partial advances of the work and final version of the painting.
