Family History: Then and Now

by Eleanor Lippman

It isn’t too late!

The Resident Art Committee’s show for July and August in the Sunrise Room is slowly coming to life.

The theme, “Family History: Then and Now” involves, perhaps, a photo taken years ago with something more recent. We are only using copied (scanned) photos, no originals, which means that faded or discolored pictures can come alive again using computer editing software.

Themes emerging vary from wedding photos then and now, to grandma’s necklace then and now, to the resident’s transformation over the years. Many examples of the deeds of grandparents, upgrades in vehicles owned over time, changes in fashions over the years, siblings or children as little tots and the same people as adults have been suggested.

It’s simple: all you need are several photos. The Resident Art Committee can scan, improve images, and print out finals as well as suggest snappy titles. We aren’t using any of your precious originals, everything is copied.

Find your photos, tell your story, and contact Eleanor Lippman at 6521 and she will take it from there.

Here are some examples to give you ideas of your own:
