what is the camera obscura ?The camera obscura was the first way of making an accurate drawing. They done it by making a small shed with a hole that reflects the image onto a sheet which you could draw on and get your accurate portrait.
It soon got made into a more practical design which you could take around and take landscape drawing. Now you can make them with every day items like cardboard, tubes and tracing paper and elastic bands. This is a slightly advanced but you could still make this at home with a few household items. |
