Well, I recently came across a terrific student project on this very point. This first video is the official trailer for the hit comedy, Hangover. Posted by Guillermo Söhnlein.

Dreamin' Steven: January 2014
http://sohnlein.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A method to the madness . Saturday, January 25, 2014. Over the years, I have taught my kids the story of the Italian painter, Giotto. He may not be the most famous of the many talented Middle Age painters, but my kids were fascinated by the story of "the perfect circle". At one point the Pope asked Giotto to draw something to prove his skills as an artist, and Giotto proceeded to draw a circle so perfect that everyone thought he had used a compass.
