Camp

So i know I'm suppose to write about the artist Navin but i just came back from camp and i thought i better write about that first. Well for camp we went to a little village in Mae Hong Son called Ban Jabo. The trip was fantastic, spending time with friends and making new ones. We were post into small groups and we were put into houses. We then meet our host families, my host family consisted of host mum, host grandmum, host cousin, host cousin brother, host baby, host son, and host uncle. We spent the week doing activities and having fun. I hate being back and i miss my host family.

Art work book turned into blog

Since i haven't blogged in like forever i decided to put  in my Art work book gibberish down. Sorry if it doesn't make any sense.

Sculpture 2 is a simple figure listening to headphones. It is the general musical influence that through time has created many genres that are present today.
