Abstract:

Apparatus and method for creating graphic compositions such as murals by transferring selected portions of the mural from tracing sheets using a wand or stylus to trace the outlines of the individual objects and certain shaded areas of the objects onto a surface such as a wall to create a three-dimensional effect. An alignment scale is provided to align each of the transfer sheets so that the sheet may be removed after selected objects have been transferred to the surface and thereafter reapplied to transfer additional objects to the surface in registry with the first set of objects. Guide numbers or printed symbols are provided to direct the user to apply the appropriate colors and shades of colors to each of the areas on the transferred graphic or mural. The transfer wand includes both a pinwheel and a stylus on a single instrument for creating thick, thin or dashed lines, or solidly-shaded areas together with an eraser to be used to correct or redo transfer lines. Additional objects are added by attaching graphics of these objects to the transfer sheet and tracing the additional objects.
