• They are lines that move around and across objects as well as through them.

Do you remember contour?

Contour

• Contour lines focus on the “outline” of objects.

• Contour lines are created by the edges of things.• Edges are perceived because the objects differ from the

backgrounds in value (lighter verses dark), texture or color.

• Contour lines also can describe interior detail
