The Camera Obscura and Projector

The Camera (room) obscura (darkened) is an ancient tool of scientists and artists. It will help you understand, light and vision and lenses with awesome simplicity.

Constuct a delux Camera Obscura Laboratory. Construct a box on an adjustable stand. Capture images through a lend; capture images through a lens. Draw with your camera (as Renaissance artists drew) to understand the geometry of perspective. The reverse its work. Darken a larger room. Focus lights on an image in the box. Project the image. Then invent ways to make images move.
