Geometry is both elegantly simple and infinitely profound. People in many professions find that they need to be able to draw geometric shapes accurately, regardless of artistic ability. In Drawing Geomentry, Jon Allen shows readers how to draw two-dimensional geometric shapes in simple step-by-step instructions and provides step-by-step instructions for constructing two-dimensional geometric shapes, which can be readily followed by a beginner. The book also serves as an invaluable source book for students and professionals.

Contains 26 color and 118 line illustrations.

Following on from his successful Drawing Geometry, Jon Allen explores the creation of the many-sided three-dimensional forms known as the Platonic and Archimedean solids. Based on patterns of equally spaced points on a sphere, these polyhedra have been the fundamentals of geometric exploration for millennia.

Many professionals find that they need to know how to build three-dimensional shapes accurately and understand the principles behind them. This unique book shows the reader how to make models of all the Platonic and Archimedean solids, as well as several other polyhedra and...
