10/35

The appearance of lights and darks found in a

work of art. These range from black to white with

numerous shades of gray in between.


11/35

ValueValue is an especially important element in works of art when color is absent. This is

particularly likely with drawings, lithographs, photographs, and sculpture.


12/35

Value Scale

A gray scale, a series of spaces filled with the tints and shades of one colorstarting with white or the lightest tint on one end, and gradually changing into

the darkest shade or black on the other.


13/35

Shade is adding black to a color create dark

values such as dark blue or dark red. It is alsoadding black to the surface of the paper. This

is what we are doing today.


14/35

Formis the three-dimensionality of an object.Shape is only two-dimensional; form is three-

dimensional. You can hold a form; walk around a

form and in some cases walk inside a form. Indrawing or painting using value can imply form.

Shading a circle in a certain manner can turn it

into a sphere.

Chiaroscuro (Italian for

clear-dark) is a term in art

for a contrast between light

and dark. Chiaroscuro can

be used to make shapes in

a painting look like three-

dimensional objects (or

forms) such as the human

body.

1. Varying pressure on the pencil

2. Varying the type of pencil

Value with Pencil

There are two ways that you can vary the value

(lightness or darkness) in a pencil drawing:

Pencil manufacturers use the letter "H" to indicate a hard

pencil and "B" to designate the blackness of the pencil's mark.

Seashells

We are going to draw seashells using both line and value.

Value Assignment 1


33/35

Seashell Drawing rules1. You are to draw 4 shells on

separate piece of white papermaking them look like three

dimensional forms.

2. First do a contour line drawing

3. Then add shade (value) usingvarious drawing pencils. H, 2B, 3B4B, Ebony, and Lead stick (6B)

4. You must draw each shell large

filling up the paper.

5. Write your name, your periodand drawing number on each

sheet (there must be at least 4)

Photo Grid Project

Students: bring a photo in to school to be scanned by instructor.

Instructor will scan the photo and place a grid on top of

photo in photoshop. Then print print the photo with Grid

on top out for student

1. Students will take an 18 x 24 sheet of paper and use it to makea centered 10 x 14 (light) grid on the paper (best to use an Hpencil (look at worksheet for instructions).

2. Students will mark the grid and their photo print with thealphabet (A-N) on the long side and numbers (1-10) on the shortside.

3. Students will then do a light contour line drawing of their photousing the grid to help them.

4. Using various shading methods students will copy thephotograph using pencils square by square to their artwork, usingthe grid system explained by the instructor as a guide.
