Activity 13
Space Cubes

Solid lines between squares represent observable differences in the distance to the viewer's eye, while dotted lines indicate a hidden difference in the number of cubes. Construct the solids shown with cubes and sketch the front, top, and left views.

Perspective Sketches of the Solids

Use the cubes to construct a solid that has the front, top, and left views shown and make a perspective sketch of the solid. Start with the front view and use the top and left views to modify the collection. Check the collection to be sure it has the three views given. Draw the front-most cubes first, outlining each surface. There is no need for dotted lines in a perspective drawing.
