Riverside students were able to participate in a Chemistry session in which students deliberated a question that the Oxford professors usually use in interview situations. The second artistic session focused on perspective. Students listened to a presentation about perspective in Art, and its development across time. Students considered linear perspective and then were able to go outside and use a ‘camera obscura’. Students came away from this session with drawings of the University building, free hand and using the ‘camera obscura’ and this provoked a lively debate regarding the use of this type of equipment when creating Art. A highly successful trip enjoyed by all.
