CLA-I Assignments · 30%

One course, three interactive works.

Each assignment is a complete website of its own, built by hand in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, sharing one design language — a dark museum lit in gold. Together they move from when Indian art was made, to where, to how its traditions can meet today.
