Unit focus

  • Complex shapes and objects can be represented by combining familiar shapes. A useful approximation preserves the important structure and proportions without copying every detail.
  • Use this routine: Observe whole → Identify familiar components → Decompose → Represent → Approximate dimensions/position → Check resemblance.
  • Watch for naming only the outline: Identify internal components and how they combine.
