DESCRIPTION:”Camera Obscura” is a piece creating a Camera Obscura in my own home using everyday materials. I first covered the window in my dad’s office with industrial trash bags and painter’s tape. I then took a Keurig cup and used that to trace a hole in the middle of the trash bags to cut out. Afterwards, I cut a piece of cardboard to use as a ‘lens.’ I then turned off all the lights to see the result. My house unfortunately does not have many good windows to naturally project from so only a small bit of the tree outside was showing inside. I wish that there could have been more but with the resources I had at my home, it was not possible to naturally project much more into the room.
