Implied Line Project
a.
Looking at your teacher's example, make an Implied Line Design based on the theme of your
choice, for example, flowers, birds, people, words, numbers, animals, cars, or other shapes with
highly recognizable outlines. You may find these theme images on the internet, in magazines,
books, or photos, but you may NOT make any up! Please email your teacher your theme today.
b.
Trace the outlines of your theme images to use for your design onto tracing paper. You may
not have any internal details! You must have at least five shapes, all related to your theme.
Save these images in your portfolio.
Tuesday
1.
Please get out your Contour Hands Project. You will grade it in a self-assessment.
2.
On your white paper, arrange your tracings in an attractive design using the Golden Section.
You may use the front of your tracing or flip it over for the reverse image.
Your teacher will explain what this means for your layout.

3.
How can you get the traced images onto your paper? There are several ways!
Copy your images onto your paper lightly: don't press too hard or you will damage the paper. You
will be erasing pencil marks later so these designs will be IMPLIED LINES with no outlines.
4.
Using a ruler's straight edge, fill each shape with parallel lines that are close together but not touching.
This will show Implied Lines as a silhouette. Please use ultrafine or fine Sharpies or highlighters.
Please use either one color for each shape or up to three analogous colors on each shape. Draw your
colorful lines right up to the pencil line outline, but do not touch the marker to the pencil line, as the
pencil line will not erase with marker on it.
5.
HOMEWORK: Please bring in one example of an implied line as seen in your home. Take a
photograph of it or bring it in for a grade tomorrow.
Wednesday-Friday
1.
Please finish your Implied Line project by Duesday.
Please write your name on the front in Implied Lines.
2.
Mount the drawing onto half a black posterboard for stability. Your teacher will show you how to tack
it down with a small amount of rubber cement or glue stick.
3.
We will study for the line test which will be next Friday.
