before it was built.

Simple to

draw, but not

very accurate

in displaying

what an object

truly looks

like.

Introduction to Drafting

• In This Class You Will Learn To Create:

– 1 Point Perspective Drawings

3 Dimensional

drawings that show drawings that show

an object as it would

appear in “real life”

These are complex

drawings that are the

most realistic in

appearance of all

drawings we will

create.
