VALUE
ValueWhat is value?•Value is how light or dark an object is (or appears to be)•Value is one of the Elements of Art
Value Can… Create contrast – the difference
between light and dark Create form – the illusion of 3D
shapes Create texture – the surface quality
of an object Create variety – using different
values to create interest in an art piece; variation in value helps “set the mood” of the piece
Value Creating ContrastThe light face next to the dark background creates contrast
Value Creating FormValue creates the sense of eggs on otherwise flat paper
Value Creating TextureValue creates the cat’s fur
Value Creating VarietyThe use of different values in the same drawing creates
variety
Drawing Value
One of the most common ways to learn about value is to make a value scale
Value scales are named by how many boxes there are
Below is a six-part value scale
Your Sketchbook Project for VALUE
Value Scales
Instructions
Get your red sketchbook, a ruler, and a pencil
Create a strip (anywhere on the paper) that is 1” x 7”
1” tall7” long
Next Step…
Use the ruler to divide the box into 1” compartments (You’ll have 7)
Repeat This Process
Use the same process to create two more 1”x7” strips
Divide the strips into 1” compartments
Value Scale
Starting with the second box of your top strip, create the lightest value you can
Make it close to white, but a little darker
Like this!
Value Scales Continued
Continue this process for each square, making it a little darker than the one before it
Your last square should be as dark as you can make it, without pushing hard Don’t push so hard you make it “shiny” or
break your pencil, rip your paper, etc.
Your Second Strip
On your second strip, do the same thing but use the process of hatching and cross-hatching
This means to make lines going in one direction (hatching)
Or many directions (cross-hatching)
Your Third Strip
Do the same thing as the last two, but use the value technique of scumbling/scribbling
This is a technique where overlapping scribbled lines make value
Shading a CIRCLE to look like a SPHERE
5 Areas of Light
Contour lines
When drawing, it’s important to make sure your shading follows the form
If your shading doesn’t follow the form, it will visually flatten what you worked so hard to make appear 3D
SHADE A CIRCLE
On your sketchbook page for value, draw a circle about 3” in diameter.
Shade the circle to make it look like a sphere. Use one of the techniques you used to create your value scales.
