AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a dynamic visualization showing the calculation of prism volume, highlighting key math concepts like volume, prism, and integral calculus. Start by drawing a base made of multiple cubes connected by edges, determined by length and width. Then translate the base along the width to form the sides, and stack these translations along the height to build the complete prism. Add three rays pointing along the positive x, y, and z axes to indicate the spatial coordinate system.
