Drafting

For those of you who don't know this already, the official definition of draft (draught) is, according to Webster's, "to draw the preliminary sketch, version, or plan of", and unfortunately in the States, IF you're going to learn how to do this, you won't learn it in school until college. Here in Todi, we start learning it in the first year of middle school. We use:
2H(#4) pencil
compass
45° 45° 90° square
30° 60° 90° square
I actually recently started using two pencils: one 9H(#9)(which is the hardest I can find)for the construction and one 4H(#5)for the tracing.
Here are some examples of my work more or less from oldest to most recent:

This is a regular pentagon (or at least an imitation).

self explanatory

The scribble is my teacher's signature

In the three-dimensional projections the lines that define the object are traced over. The ones you cannot see are dotted.

This is an object seen from various points of view.
bottom left- top
top left- fro
top right- side

 irregular pyramid

truncated pyramid with a tilt

 

This is a different kind of projection.

These are my most recent constructions.
 In this type of projection, the diagonal length is half the real length.

P.S. The myth that official Italian was born by a committee that combined the different dialects into one language is FALSE. Said committee simply declared that the Florentine dialect would be the official Italian language. Since then, "official" Italian has diverged somewhat from the aforementioned Florentine dialect.
