The solids are considered, first, as "wholes"; second, as "to surfaces and faces," and, third, "as to edges."
An edge is formed by the meeting of two faces.
Edges may be curved or straight.
The surface of the sphere is curved equally in all parts, while the surface of the cube is composed of six equal plane faces. When any two of these faces come in contact an edge is formed.
A profile limits the part that we see of any round or curved surface. Profiles and edges limit and give visible shape to the faces and parts of faces.
Begin by drawing the circles, ovals, oblongs and triangles in Fig. 8. Now let the pupil base the construction of objects along these lines as in Fig. 9. It is not necessary to adhere very closely to the outlines as originally demarked.
In Fig. ii the circle, oval, square, oblong and triangle in Fig. 10 are all introduced into a single picture. Request the pupil to make another drawing in which these forms are indicated. Tell him that the oblong may indicate the body of a cart; the circle, one of the wheels; the square, a box on the cart; the oval, a bag of flour on the box. The triangle may show the angle of the roof of the house.
