Hello, my name is Alexander Boris and I am a senior Economics Major. Additionally I have had a focus in both psychology as well as sculpture / studio arts. Besides taking several sculpture classes I have also had the pleasure of taking American Art and Architecture which gave me the chance to further explore my passion for Native American art in an academic setting. Outside of school I currently reside in Philadelphia, however I loved to travel and have been to most European countries between the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Turkey. Other than that I have been to a large portion of the countries in north and south America, I was recently in both the Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia pursing my greatest passion, fishing.  I am looking forward to this class for I have yet to had the chance to travel to china and I always think that a great way to learn the culture of a place is through it art.
