Elements and Principles of Art and Design Elements: Value To show Line, Shape, Form, Space
Value “The degree of lightness or darkness in a particular shade of gray or color” Used to show contrast and light/shadow
Value Lines do not exist in the natural world: Lines are how our brain translates movement and changes between values
Value to Show Space: Negative Space Negative space is the space around and in between the subject More complete understanding of the proportions and positive space of the object

M. C. Escher: Tessellations
Values High Values: Light Low Values: Dark
Pencils: H & B H = Hard (Light) B = Black (Bold, dark, Soft)
Pencils: H & B 8 H = Lightest 4 H = Lighter H = Light HB = Neutral B = Dark 4 B = Darker 8 B = Darkest
Charcoal Vine & Willow Charcoal Lighter Easily manipulated & erased Compressed Charcoal Darker: Used for darkest darks Difficult to manipulate & erase More permanent Blenders Used instead of your hands to blend charcoal for smoother value transitions
Value and Light Source: Direction where light is coming from Highlights: The brightest areas where the light hits the object directly (High values) Midtones: The areas that receive an amount of light between the highlights and shadows (Middle values)
Value and Light: Areas of Value Shadows: Areas on object that receive the least amount of light (Low values), on the opposite side of the light source Cast Shadow: Dark area on surface where light is blocked by object (Low values) Reflected Light: Where light reflects from surface onto object
Drawing Value -Identify and focus on areas of value (squint your eyes to find them) -Focus on the values of different planes (flat surfaces) -Avoid contour lines -Use at least 7 different values (more are better) -Achieved with different techniques (including crosshatching, blending, etc. )
Hatching and Cross-Hatching: Using line to create form and value. (This is also part of the elements of shape, form, value, and texture)
Value & Contrast Values are one way give an image more variety and contrast Variety & Contrast makes an image more dynamic, interesting, and distinguishable Lack of variety and contrast is boring, dull, monotonous
