Assignment 1

Hey, my name is Asha Nair. i'm curently pursuing a degree in pychology at Help University, and completing my first year. I enjoy drawing. my drawings are mostly on a drawing sheet and i use pencil, pen, coloured pen, etc. normally it resembles more of a doodle than an actual drawing. I like to get involved in voluntary works, one such voluntary work that i'm participating in is creating awareness about the importance of practising safe sex especially among our sex workers and transgenders through a non goverment organisation known as the Malaysian AIDS Council.

Grafiti

Typically the term street art or more specific post grafiti is used to distinguish contemporary public space art work from territorial grafiti, vandalism, and corporate art. Street artist do not aspire to change the definition of an artwork but rather, to question the existing environment with its own language. They have their work communicate with everyday people.
