What is value?
Value is how
light or dark an object is (or appears to be)Value is one of the Elements of DesignSlide3
Value Can…
Create contrast
– the difference between light and dark
Create form – the illusion of 3D shapesCreate texture – the surface quality of an objectCreate variation – using different values to create interest in an art piece; variation in value helps “set the mood” of the pieceSlide4
Value Creating Contrast
The light face next to the dark background creates contrastSlide5
Value Creating Form
Value creates the sense of eggs on otherwise flat paperSlide6
Value Creating Texture
Value creates the cat’s furSlide7
Value Creating Variety
The use of different values in the same drawing creates varietySlide8
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 scaleSlide9
Your Project for Today
Value ScalesSlide10
Instructions
Get a piece of drawing paper, a ruler, and a pencil
Create a strip (anywhere on the paper) that is 1” x 7”
1” tall
7” longSlide11
Next Step…
Use the ruler to divide the box into 1” compartments
(You’ll have 7)Slide12
Repeat This Process
Use the same process to create
two
more 1”x7” stripsDivide the strips into 1” compartmentsSlide13
The Values
You’ll need:
Your 3 drawing pencils
Your blending stompSlide14
Value Blending
Starting with the
second
box of your top strip, create the lightest value you canI recommend going SLOWLY and using your 4H pencilMake it close to white, but a little darker
Like this!Slide15
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.Slide16
Get Your Blending Stomp Ready
Blend each square
separately!
Blend by pressing the stomp to the paper lightly and “scrubbing” in little circlesTry to keep your dividing lines neatDon’t scrub your values together!Slide17
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)Slide18
Your Third Strip
Do the same thing as the last two, but use the value technique of
scumbling
/scribblingThis is a technique where overlapping scribbled lines make valueSlide19

Curvature
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
