exercise 1a: projections of oblique planes
Using several methods associated with descriptive geometry, students will generate oblique plane figures, then rotate the planes of projection to find the “true” shape of each oblique. The exercise will begin with an ambiguous set of 4 traces, from which students will construct a figure and a second set of traces, thereby defining a plane in space. After this plane is defined, and projected from edge and frontal positions, students will carefully graft additional plane figures to the first. The result will be a composite drawing that describes the genesis of a faceted surface.

repeat this process for 3 adjoining faces
start on one edge in the original projection, add 2 new traces, and describe a new quadrilateral plane figure.
repeat all processes necessary to fully define this second plane and find its true shape.
add 2 more quadrilateral planes to the open vertices to close the overall figure.
build a model of the completed form
using the true shapes of all 4 faces (copied, and scaled if necessary),construct the object from bristol board
make markings to indicate the orientation of the model in relation to the drawing.
