Victoria Lautman
Victoria traveled to India in order to locate and map over 120 step wells across 7 states, with the hopes of documenting these marvelous pieces of architecture before they cave in or are taken over by the wilderness, and erased from Indian culture without being acknowledged. A step well is like a well in a certain sense, because of how they provided easy access to below the water table, which was very important for certain regions because of the overwhelming heat and dryness, but because of India's drop in the water table, many of the wells are now dry, making them essentially useless.

Doll Perspective Photograph
This week, I have learned multiple things in art. My personal favourite was using one-point perspective, because I enjoyed using mathematics and symmetry to make my drawings and make them look realistic. Another artistic technique I enjoyed was using perspective to distort the proportion of multiple objects in a picture to create a sort of illusion, like how my hands were placed in the above photograph to make it seem like my group-mate's hands were being held by my fingers.
