CUBES AND OBLONG BLOCKS. 281 DRAWING-BOOK EXERCISE Cubes and Parallelopipedon : Figs. 13, 14, 15. Directions fou Figs. 13, 14, and 15.—The same direc-tions will serve for drawing each of these figures. The solidsare all to rest upon a horizontal surface, and to hebelow the level of the eye. All lines which are vertical inthe solids are to be drawn vertical; all retreating parallellines are to he drawn converging. Due allowance is to be madefor foreshortening. See pp. 255-2(50. Draw in the order ofthe numerals : 1 2 the nearest edge of the cube, 1 3 towardsthe right, and 1 5 towards the left; then 2 4 and 2 6 pointingupwards juore than 1 3 and 1 5, so as to make 3 4 shorter than1 2, though they are actually of the same length. You canshow your pupils, that, if the retreating lines in these figureswere continued far enough, they would meet in a commonpoint. See p. 284. 282 TEACHERS MANUAL, DRAWING-BOOK EXERCISE XI.
