that does implied lines mean?

Question

IS FOR THE CHAPTER 5 ART CLASS SHAPES AND FORM

Answer 1

The term "implied line" is typically used to describe lines that are not physically present/visible in the work (like an outline would be) but are still "there." An example of this would be an eyeline - when one of the figures in a work is looking at something, the viewer's eye will generally be directed to look at whatever that figure is looking at. Another example would be the orthogonal lines that are part of the system of linear perspective; sometimes these lines have a physical presence in the work, but sometimes that presence is only "implied," meaning that the lines may be invisible as they approach or radiate out from the vanishing point.

Answer 2

An implied line is any line that is lesser than the entire composition of an image but which supports an unseen line within said image. a broken horizon line for instance in a landscape is an implied line. this is just an example but it gives you an idea. within a landscape for instance, you may see the back bround in just one spot but that one spot might imply where the edge of the sky begins Thus,...the implied line. or, in a portrait, the browline on a face suggests the location of the rest of the face and ears even if not seen clearly.In a still life, shadows on fruit suggest the direction from which light is falling upon a composition and so you get an idea of a direct line which isnt seen but which supports the image. Also, an implied line supports the viewers' equilibrium,...it allows a viewers' eye to easily and comfortably move about within the imagie.
