There are some important features you'll notice throughout many of the pieces of art and artifacts from Jamaica. You're likely to see some of the following in each piece of art, including paintings, drawings and other creations.

• Vibrant colors are common. While this has been something the country is known for, it's one of the fundamental elements to truly bringing home Jamaica with you. Look for colors that stand out and are very much the focal point of the piece.
• The colors are very earthy. Golden hues, sand colors, deep blues like that of the ocean all help to make this type of art stand out as unique and original to the country.
• Although some of the pieces are of nature, not every piece needs to be. In fact, many of the best pieces to represent this region are of the people, places and things you will see here. Cultural elements are very common in this form of art.

Also, keep in mind the art is more than just drawings and paintings. It's in the music, too, something that most people know stands for Jamaica. Jamaica reggae music is quite popular because of its unique beat and it's very popular locally.

As you look for pieces of art to purchase, keep in mind the importance of buying from the creators of the pieces. You'll find locals selling their works along the streets and close to most shopping areas. These pieces, when handmade, are some of the best available.
