"ArtsConnectEd iPad Challenge #2"
My Life as an Architect/Designer
This set consists of a highly comprehensive mix of slides that will serve as the backbone for a 9-day exploration of the interior design and the architechural world. 8th grade students will be creating a one point perspective room, as well as a material sample board and a 3D model of a house created in Google's modeling program, SketchUp. Not only will this set provide a motivational introduction, but it will also offer inspiration, a review of the elements and principles of design and a global, timeless look of the broad world of home design.

The Magic of Illusion podcast
The Magic of Illusion—presented here in a seven-part podcast series—is a film about how we see, what we see, or what it is we think we see. Al Roker guides us on a journey into the secrets of illusion, utilizing special effects to illustrate the artistic and visionary discoveries of the Renaissance. While Copernicus and Columbus were changing our understanding of the world, the Renaissance masters were dramatically changing the way we see that world. The film uses recent technology to look at old works in new ways. Each segment of this podcast presentation unlocks new secrets of illusion and perspective as seen in the works of old masters. This program made possible by The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
