Pictured are examples of Dordt College student work from the Three-Dimensional Design course this semester. Artist / designer Wucius Wong writes about linear structures in his book, Principles of Form and Design: Three-Dimensional Design that: “In any geometric form, there are always more edges than faces. Thus construction with lines is more complicated than constructing with planes. Using the cube again as an example, there are only six faces, but there are twelve edges, and the twelve edges become twelve linear sticks which must be connected in order to construct the linear framework of a cube.” (1)
