Rubik's Cube Art

Rob Burkhead, one of my former Math of Art students who afterward became a preceptor for my course, wrote me this two-line email a while ago:

This video made me think of you.

Doesn't seem like much of an email, but getting a message like this just makes me all gooey.  Wow, my former students actually *remember* me!  

In our class, we learned how to divide a (perspective image of a) square into three (perspectively) equal pieces -- to draw something like this Rubik's cube in 3-point perspective.  Does the drawing technique we learned in class actually work?   Watch this video to see whether it's possible to make a realistic 2-d image of a 3-d shape.  (Hint:  the viewing location matters!)
