……………………………

…………………………… LIGHT DARK

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Shade in your grid from left to right.

Each number from 1 – 10 represents the layers of applied pencil used to make

the shades of tone.

Example:

1 = 1 layer of pencil

2 = 2 layers of pencil

3 = 3 layers of pencil

When drawing in tone consider the direction of the light. For instance

Look at the right side of the red apple in the picture. It is a dark tone

or shade of red. The lightest part of the orange apple is

the front as this is the lightest shade of orange.

Colour the tone sheet with graded tones then generate one tonal image.

TonE?

1. Draw the simple shapes.

2. Show the light direction

with a directional arrow.

3. Use your degrees of

shade to create an object

with form

about yourself. This work needs to tell your

viewer a little bit about yourself.

What are your interests?

What is your culture?

Do you know what designs you could use? You live

in New Zealand- try using some Maori kowhaiwhai

or taniko designs. Perhaps you could use designs from your own cultural background.
