Introduction

Public Art

Task

You will need: a portable digital projector, a large piece of card, and a selection of shapes and images ready for showing with the projector.

Try projecting images on different surfaces. Project simple shapes like circles and squares and then try photos of people (maybe class members).

  • Look at the effect on a flat card. How does the shape change when you slant the card?
  • Project over chairs, tables and walls in your classroom to see how the image is broken up. Where is the best place to stand to make the image look just right?
  • Does it make a difference if you crouch down or stand tall?
  • Where do you think it looks most weird?
