What about that tracing tool, it looks like a protractor? Only the pointing end is dull and traces the image lines on a piece of paper, while the pencil end transposes the image onto a blank piece of paper. Depending on the distance between the two feet, determines the size of the image transposed. What is the name of that thing? I think Matel used to have one in the spirograph toy kit.

@SuperKnockout10

tape garbage bags or black posters onto the windows in a room and cut a hole, make sure the room is dark and as no light coming from any where but the hole in the window, then take a digital camera and take pictures of what appears onto the opposite wall
