Drums

On wednesday, we played the drums of West Africa. Some people were taken in 30 minutes before everyone else to be volunteers and play more things than the rest of us. I thought the activity was cool. We played a lot of different beat and I tried to make them my own by changing the rhythm a little. The man who taught us how to drum actually wasn't a professional drummer; he was a social worker. But, he was very skilled at drumming nonetheless. Overall, I thought the experience was pretty fun, I wouldn't mind doing it again.

After lunch, we went back to working on our projects. My group was getting pretty close to finishing, we even started on some of the physical parts of the project. Our museum is going to look like a West African market. I'm pretty proud because I'm the one who suggested Central Market for the letter C; so it was basically my idea. I also made a sign for the art part of the exhibit. It was my first time drawing a realistic person(not anime), so it's not very good, but if you look at it from an angle, it's not that bad. I plan to draw more realistic people in the future to broaden my perspective, and that was a good start.
