With the country s ethnically diverse background, PuertoRican art reflects many influences, particularly Spain Spanish and Africa n. Folk art Santos, an especially beloved form of folk art , evolved from the Spanish church s use of sculpture s to convert indigenous Puerto Ricans to Christianity . Meaning saints in Spanish, santos depict figures of saints and other religious icons. Families continue to pass this centuries old craft down from generation to generation. The artisans, called santeros, create santos from native wood, clay, and stone. After shaping simple effigies , they often finish by painting them in vivid colors. Santos vary in size, with the smallest examples around eight inches tall and the largest about twenty inches tall. Traditionally, santos were seen as messengers between the earth and Heaven. As such, they occupied a special place on household altar s, where people prayed to them, asked for help, or tried to summon their protection. Also popular, caretas are masks worn during carnival s. Similar masks signifying evil spirits were used in both Spain and Africa, though for different purposes. The Spanish used their masks to frighten lapsed Christians into returning to the church, while tribal Africans used them as protection from the evil spirits they represented. PuertoRican caretas always bear at least several horns and fangs, true to their historic origins ... Spanish influence on PuertoRican arts was in painting.

Unreferenced date December 2007 Expert subject Puerto Rico date November 2008 The PuertoRican Operating Area , often inaccurately called the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station Roosevelt Roads Operating Area , was centered on the Virgin Pass and Vieques . Because of Puerto Rico PuertoRican protests, it is now closed. Vieques Island was the site of the former Vieques Naval Training Range which was primarily used to train surface combatants for Naval Surface Fire Support. This training consisted of shooting live rounds at specified targets inside the range, 9 to 13 miles from the nearest populated area. Prompted by the accidental death of a civilian guard David Sanes inside the range, the people of Puerto Rico began a movement to close it. Environmental and health issues fueled the opposition of the people against keeping the range open. A nearby civilian area allegedly was adversely affected by the military operations. The opposition was mainly peaceful, relying on civil disobedience and massive protests. Nevertheless, some violent incidents did occur. A controversy arose because independentist and nationalist movements used the process to promote independence for Puerto Rico. However, with the protest s and subsequent closing of the range, there was no longer any reason for United States Navy Navy and United States Marine Corps Marine Corps forces to deploy to the Caribbean , and the closing of Vieques support base, U.S. Naval Station Roosevelt Roads , occurred on March 31, 2004. As a consequence, the U.S. Navy s more than 300 million in yearly economic impact, and thousands of military, federal and contractor jobs were lost on both Vieques Island, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands .
