    • A point is a very important element in drafting or in any other type of composition including a structure of lines. In theory, a point does not possess any length, area, volume or any other dimensional attribute. A point serves the sole purpose of defining a point in space. Although a point has no dimensions it provides the commencement of a line, which in turn, serves to create lines, planes and overall volume of a composition.

    • A plane is composed of points created by lines that have been combined to create an enclosure. The enclosed space becomes a surface that can be connected with other planes to form a three dimensional figure.

    • Volume is created when combining points, lines, and planes to produce a three dimensional figure which occupies an area defined by the height and overall base area. In other words, the volume of an object is the amount of space an object occupies.

    • Although a line is infinite and has no width, it attributes to the connection of two points in space. A line is basically the elongation of a point and since it has the ability to connect points it can create planes which in turn produce edges. Lines can be used to provide a sense of direction and create depth within a composition.

      Hey Homero,
      I really love what you did, especially your choice of background. I think if you add more pictures that will be great.
      thank you for helping me to understand the words.

      Your definition of the was easy to follow along with. The pictures were nice swell. How ever let me suggest for future blogs that you have all the definition text the same size and also maybe to have a separate example of what you are explaining apart from the examples in an environment.
