Students were treated to a tour around the Ashmolean Museum, and discussed Art through Assyrian, Renaissance and Modern genres with a focus on perspective. Students were then taken to the University of Oxford where the professor of Chemistry delivered a presentation on molecules. Students were asked to create three dimensional structures of molecules, which they then had to draw. Students were then taken to the Museum of Science, in which the discussion on perspective in art continued. Students considered the methods Renaissance artists used to create precise artwork. This discussion led onto the use of a camera obscura in art, and the students were then able to use this equipment to create their own drawings of the University.
