Well being an art student and always having it in me to draw thing I am very familiar with this three dimensional object that has not only given me the ability to draw thing but has change the way man communicate to one another. Before people uses to uses rocks or leafs to write things or draw them. But with this object there is no hold a heavy rock or getting dye all over your hands. This object is really amazing. It had lead in the inside of it meaning that if the lead was taken out there would be a hallow tube in the inside of the wood. The construction of this object really was a smart way to go. Not only is it easy to sharpen but also it is light and easy to handle. And that is a really good thing because we uses this object all the time and carry it with us everywhere.
