• can also be reflected, refracted and bent through different mediums and materials
In our last lesson we learnt that “light…”
• travels in a straight line
• can help keep us warm, help grow plants
and provide power through solar panels
Let’s start this
lesson by exploring
“First camera ever”.

Over time the camera obscura got smaller and smaller. This meant artists
could travel from place to place creating realistic paintings or drawings of
different landscapes and people.

People around the world have learnt how a camera obscura works and
have transformed their homes into large camera obscuras. Lets take a

Let’s recap on what we have learnt so far…
some amazing things…
Light
• travels in a straight line. We
can see how this works through
a camera obscura.
• can be used to project an image of
the outside environment. This would
later become known as the camera
obscura, considered the first camera
in the world.
• is needed for a camera obscura to
work. Many artists use this to help create
realistic drawings and paintings.
In the next lesson we will explore
“Cameras and History”.
