Masterclass: The 13 Archimedean Solids

This Masterclass focuses on drawing and building the 13 Archimedean Solids. These sessions were recorded with advanced Knew Geometry apprentices in 19 sessions as each form was drawn from different orthographic perspectives (2, 3, and 5-fold symmetry). These solids have two types of polygon faces, which provide many unique perspectives for viewing the forms, so each drawing illustrates face, edge, or vertex perspectives of the form.   

In total we completed 44 drawings of the 13 solids, and this course offers you the opportunity to deepen your relationship with these incredible forms, by drawing them and building them.   As a whole, these 13 solids when drawn from multiple perspectives  will deepen your understanding of the pattern language of Sacred geometry while mastering Knew Geometry's creative discovery process, methods, and techniques used to draw these enchantingly beautiful forms.

The course was originally done in 2 parts. Part 1 focused on the forms that did not require golden ration techniques in the construction, while the 2nd part covered all the forms that utilized the golden ratio. Below is a list of the 13 forms separated into each part.  Note that two solids (Snub Cube and Snub Dodecahedron), which have been proven to not be drawable with compass and straight edge techniques, are included as we draw variations of the forms that are close approximations.

The Archimedean Solids  has a range of drawings that intermediate and advanced geometers will greatly enjoy.  Beginners with some prior drawing experience can get started with Part 1 and continue on to Part 2 with ease, as the forms becoming increasingly complex as we progress through the sessions.  You will be amazed at how far you’ve come and how much you’ve learned in the progressions, which will certainly be a rewarding experience, as drawing  the 13 Archimedean Solids from multiple perspectives is an incredible accomplishment  along your Knew journey of discovery!
