One of the core issues in drawing is 「how to draw a three dimensional object on a two dimensional surface」. This study aims to investigate the performances of K7-8 students in drawing 3D objects icosahedrons in three different circumstances. 26 K7 students and 34 K8 students were asked to draw regular tetrahedrons, cubes, regular dodecahedrons, and regular. In the first circumstance, the subjects were given verbal instructions only. In the second circumstance, a real model was provided for sketching. In the third circumstance, the subjects were asked to copy drawings from a sheet of paper. The subjects' drawings are classified into different types. Their common errors are identified, and causes of errors and the strategies used in tackling the drawing tasks are analyzed. Results show that drawing cubes are the easiest, regular tetrahedrons are less easier, regular dodecahedrons are more difficult than the former two, and regular icosahedrons are the most difficult tasks. Common errors come from subjects lack of relevant conceptions for the shapes of the objects or taking wrong viewpoints in the tasks. When students' concept of object was unclear, his performances were improved in the circumstance under which more cues were given. It is suggested that what concepts students already have and the structure of drawing objects are taken into consideration in choosing objects to draw in class.
