Value
The document discusses value in art, which refers to the lights and darks in a work. It defines key terms like tint, shade, and chiaroscuro. Several drawing assignments are described that involve creating value scales, high contrast studies using only black and white values, and rendering a sphere showing the six categories of light. Techniques like modeling, atmospheric perspective, and tenebrism are also mentioned.

- 2. LIGHT • We seelight through waves of energy traveling through the air that are recognized by light and color sensitive receptors in our eyes.
- 3. • Light movesin straight lines, a SHADOW results from something blocking the light.
- 4. Key • The relativelightness or darkness of a picture or the colors employed in it; used in preference to value • High Key • Low Key • Full Value Range
- 5. Drawing Assignment: ValueScale A gradation of value from light to dark. • Draw 10 equally sized boxes to create a scale. • One box will be white on one end, one box black on the other end. • Develop the gradations of value in the boxes in between using pencil or charcoal.
- 6. Drawing Assignment: ValueReduction 1. Use a sheet of paper from your drawing pad (18x24) 2. Use only two values to create a high contrast study based on a still life. 3. Squint your eyes to reduce color effects so that you see only patterns of light and dark. 4. You are to reduce all values in the subject to either black or white. Note both the actual values of objects and the light patterns on them, and classify these values as either black or white 5. Draw the subject lightly in pencil; then use your black ink or gouache (Ivory Black) to make everything that is darker than the midpoint value a flat, unmodulated black. 6. Erase the pencil lines, leaving the rest of the drawing white. Values will cross over objects and negative space; value will not necessarily be confined to an object. The drawing will be spatially flat, very dramatic, and somewhat abstract.
- 13. Drawing Assignment: Sphere-6 Categories of Light • Recreate a sphere in light using charcoal, labeling the six categories of light
- 14. Modeling • modeling. indrawing, painting, and printmaking, the rendering of a form, usually by means of hatching or chiaroscuro, to create the illusion of a three- dimensional form
- 19. CHIAROSCURO • In drawingand painting, the use of light and dark to create the effect of three-dimensional, modeled surfaces
- 23. Representing the Effectsof Light • Realistic • Expressive • Emphasis

- 25. Expressive use oflight

- 27. • Tenebrism--violent chiaroscuro, dark manner used to lend mood or emotional expression, typical of Rembrandt Rembrandt Drawing at a Window
- 29. Dramatic use oflight and dark
- 32. Materials Needed • Vine and willow charcoal • Charcoal pencils, one soft, one medium • Kneaded eraser • White eraser • Higher quality paper • Spray fixative • Tape
- 33. Additive Reductive Process •Tape paper evenly around edges to create a border • Use vine or willow sticks and apply evenly to paper, covering the entire surface • Aim for middle range value • Use vine or willow to draw preliminary sketch
- 34. Additive Reductive Process •Use soft charcoal pencil to shade in darkest values • Medium charcoal pencil for medium values • Use kneaded eraser to create the light values • Use white eraser for highlights • Work from general to specific • Leave details until the end
- 35. Additive Reductive Process •Spray fix to keep charcoal from smudging or falling from paper • Remove tape by pulling away from the drawing
