Reflection:
This assignment included a lot of ups and downs for me. It started as a very confusing assignment, and I struggled to understand how to draw with the compass and create exact shapes. I had to redraw a bunch of times and it had a learning curve. After I understood how to make it, it took me a while to transfer and make the exact objects. I am super happy with how the dodecahedron and the pyramid turned out, I think that the connectors look clean on those and I worked really hard for them to turn out how they did. I am not as proud of my cube, it took a while and was hard but I’m really glad I was able to complete it.
