Look for examples of scaling down or forced perspective in the video walkabout at Portmeirion?
- The buildings are placed up a steep slope to make them look taller.
- The bell tower gets narrower towards the top.
- Unicorn Cottage is made to look like a huge mansion by having a scaled-down gate, flight of steps and windows.
- The great dome is about half the height of similar buildings in Italy.
- Look at things in your classroom and think what they would look like if they were two-thirds the size. For example, if the doorway is 2 metres high it would be 1.33 metres.
