+My goal for my London HUA experience was to explore art through different mediums. Specifically, I explored the history of architecture through photography, how to create a mosaic in both a physical and digital setting, and the history, purpose, and techniques of stained glass windows. Previous courses I have taken in the humanities and arts are: AR1101 Digital Imaging and Computer Art, MU 2637 String Ensemble, and I have experience from high school courses such as AP U.S. History, AP European History, AP Literature and Composition, and AP Language and Composition. From my time in London I have discovered a love for traditional art forms such as mosaics and stained glass, and that there is never a dull moment in London. I have developed a newfound appreciation for artists who work with difficult mediums, such as glass, and I hope to be able to keep working with glass in the future as a hobby.

 '''Objective:''' To develop an understanding of the history of stained glass windows including their purpose, and to study the techniques needed to create a window; then applying those techniques to create my own stained glass window.

-Below the objective statement, Insert a one or two paragraph summary of your findings from having reached this milestone. If this milestone, for you, represents a humanities and arts capstone, please indicate so. Edit the link below to link to your milestone page.
+After looking into the history, purpose, and techniques of stained glass windows I applied my knowledge to create my own window. Creating a stained glass window is a tedious process of endlessly cutting glass and lead, hoping that in the end the pieces will fit together. It was an interesting experience to be able to go into creating the window with all of my research and actually have a physical representation of my efforts. I enjoyed being able to create this window as the capstone for my humanities and arts requirement, and I have a new found interest in the glass blowing classes at WPI to continue working with glass.

 '''Objective:''' A descriptive timeline of the change in architecture throughout the city over time through photographs including comparing different churches, buildings, bridges, museums and even unsung architectures accomplishments such as parking garages (or car parks).

 Over the course of 2 weeks, we have traveled around London taking pictures and researching some of London's most stand out buildings. We have found the best source for finding architecture information which is the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Library, and some interesting facts about all of the buildings. Many buildings have been built multiple times due to the great fire of London, and more recent buildings were built in controversy. The buildings that we researched all have a rich history and interesting architectural design elements that add to the city. This has been a great experience and we have learned a lot about the buildings that make up the city of London.

 ====Activity #4 [[The National Gallery|The National Gallery]]====
-I did not really enjoy the visit to [[The National Gallery]] today. A large portion of the art is early christian art that contains a myriad of paintings with the same four events in the life of Jesus and Mary: the Crucifixion, the Assumption, the arrival of the magi, and Mary with baby Jesus, The museum provided me the opportunity to increase my ugly baby Jesus tally to 12. The only paintings I truly enjoyed observing were the work of [[The National Gallery#Claude Monet|Claude Monet]]. I did manage to find one work of art relevant to my milestone as I exited the building; there was a large tile mosaic on the ground depicting the roman gods and I hope to go back to get a better look and study the large mosaic. Another reason I did not particularly like this museum was that even at opening, it was ultra crowded. I was hard to appreciate some of the art in such a loud place in some of the galleries. This museum almost felt like a repeat of previous museums that I had visited including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and Gli Uffizi in Florence; that is not to say that I did not appreciate the art it just felt rather redundant.

 ====Activity #2 [[British Museum|The British Museum]]====
-I really enjoyed today's visit to the [[British Museum|British Museum]]. After deciding last night to join the other two girls in the architecture group for their first milestone, this provided a great opportunity to start working with them. The museum courtyard provided some great photos for the milestone, and it was incredibly designed. The thought that people had built that intricate glass ceiling, creating the largest covered square in England, was fascinating. I especially enjoyed looking at all of the Egyptian artifacts, as that is my favorite time period throughout all of history. The sheer number of artifacts in the museum was incredible and it would take at least a week to be able to see and appreciate their extensive collection. I would love to go back at a later date to further explore the other wings of the museum. I knew that the British people had a large collection of Egyptian artifacts, but I never knew that the British Museum has the second largest collection outside of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

 I also got the chance to do some more exploring in London on a quest to complete the scavenger hunt. At the end of our scavenger hunt quest we returned to [[Westminster Abbey]] to attend evensong. It was a pleasant experience and the choir sounded incredible, it was also a nice experience to attend the service to get a better idea of the protestant faith. It was cool to see that it is possible to sit right next the choir and among the members of the clergy. I wish I could have taken my own photos inside the Abbey for my milestone, but I understand they want to maintain the rights to images of the Abbey.
