LESSON NOTES
In this lesson, I'll discuss how you use addition and subtraction to understand complex form. Make sure you complete the assignments in the correct order to maximise your understanding of this principle.

ASSIGNMENTS
- Draw 20 simple forms with subtracted forms.
- Draw 20 simple forms with added simple forms.
- Reference and draw at least 10 household objects that showcase addition and subtraction.
Not too much action here in the assignments sections, but hope there are others taking the class though, these assignments feels really useful :) Seems so obvious upon presentation but actually having to do the stuff on paper can be a challenge, especially with the rounded objects.
Took an occasional intermission with zbrush also on this one. Using live booleans on primitive shapes, this while staring intently to see and to get a better sense of how they interact when moving them around, and also to check if I had gotten it right. But didn't copy from the screen, tried around first on paper and then went for a drag and stare session and then went back to the exercises.
Here are my assignments! I struggled a lot with subtraction and really got stuck on it for a while. I kept being a bit ambitious about subtracting round forms from other round forms, and it broke my brain. But here are my best attempts!

Critique not needed but welcomed if you feel like critiquing
Household objects were definitely a challenge, trying my best to simplify, without going to much into details.
Sorry for all the images. Oof. I'm often on the go and all over campus so I tried to find items around me. XD Hopefully it suffices. The household object part was so hard, I'm gunna have to do way more of those.
Oof this took me awhile but it made me think...hopefully that means I'm absorbing it
I avoided the object drawing of this assignment, and took a long time doing the 10 items, that I almost forgot to attach the subtraction and addition aspects (°ー°〃) Really struggled to get through this assignment.
The subtraction assignment was pretty challenging with boxes for some reason. For the household objects assignment, I didn't match the proportions but did add the simplified shape of each segment.
