I have been slightly bored the past few days, which was why I didn't blog about anything. But today we did an axonometric during drawing time (I LOVE axons!) and in the afternoon we really started playing with cubes. I'm a nerd, so I think these things are really fun!

| the axon was done in pencil, I laid this on top of it so I could better understand how the planes intersect |
The other days we cut different curves into three faces of a 4.5" wood cube with a bandsaw, in turn making many pieces of different shapes and sizes, then we were to shear and rotate the pieces to expand it to fit it better into a 9"x9" cube. Everyone's looks pretty cool, but I thought the process was sort of boring, and I get frightened watching some people operate the bandsaw. If I saw a finger slice open or fly off, I'm sure I would pass out!
The drawing is fun because you really have to think in 3D and it's very systematic, which is nice sometimes. The cubes were monotonous at first because we only connected them orthogonally. Today however, we began rotating the cubes against one another and the result was three cubes intersecting each other at all different angles. Doing this is not as easy as it may look. It takes a lot of skill and craftsmanship, but somehow I like it.
