Abstract

In this paper, a completely different statement about the ownership of images is proposed from the generally accepted opinion. First there are definitions of well-known concepts, such as the purpose of descriptive geometry, its method, its subject. Then, gradually approaching the opinion that descriptive geometry is the theory of images, it is said about those areas of knowledge and human activity that are impossible without descriptive geometry. It is shown that images are characteristic of absolutely all areas of human activity. Mention is made of painters, graphic artists and sculptors who study descriptive geometry during training. The first drawings made on the walls of caves are mentioned, which indicates the use of descriptive geometry even before the conscious division of science into different branches of research. It is shown that any image is a mental activity of the brain, which includes the works of abstractionists to any works of painters, as well as to the halo of belonging to descriptive geometry. And since descriptive geometry deals with abstract points, lines and compartments of surfaces, then all directions of images consisting of points, lines and compartments of surfaces simply have to be attached to the field of activity of descriptive geometry.
