Implied Lines

Every day for the entire school year, I have been giving the students a word of the day. Imagine that I might be doing this for a purpose. Pretend they are not just a bunch of made up words that will never be used in class or encountered in future drawing classes. I really am doing this so my students will expand their vocabulary and be able to understand what we are talking about in class. One of our vocabulary words was implied line. On Friday when Mrs. Kammer asked the students to complete a drawing that included only implied lines, many were very confused. Thanks to a few students who retained the information they were required to learn, the rest of the class was no longer in the dark. Today students continued working on their hand compositions and the paper bag drawings.

art gum - a popular eraser among artists that is made of soft, coarse rubber. It is well suited for removing large areas and does not damage the paper. They tend to crumble as they are used, leaving behind residue that should be removed with a brush. These erasers are not very precise. They are commonly tan or brown.
