When Viewing Examples of Student Work:

Often a single example of work may not demonstrate all the required objectives for a particular assignment. Instead students should collectively consider: the required objectives for each assignment, the multiple examples presented on this website and during in class presentations. As well ideas discovered through a student's independent research in combination with various examples and ideas presented by instructor will ultimately be the best approach for synthesizing ideas and reaching the requirements (and unique outcome) for any particular course project. Attendance and participation in all classes and meeting with instructor with Art Assignments in progress well in advance of deadlines will increase chances for desired grade.

Tues Mar 26 - Presentation 8: Platonic Solids & Other Polyhedrons (Geometric Solids)




Euler characteristics of a Polyhedron
Polygon consists of Faces/Polygons, Edges, Verdices (Corners)
Euler Definition:
Given Polyhedron P, its Euler characteristic, denoted e(P), is defined as follows:
e(P) = #f - #e +  #v








































The Platonic Solids are the only REGULAR Polyhedra


Euler characteristics of Tetrahedron:
e(T) = ?
#f = 4
#e = 6
# v= 4

e(T) = 4 -6 +4 =2
