Value- The Element
of shadow
Value deals with the lightness or darkness of a color.
we see objects and understand objects because of how dark or light they are.
Value deals directly with light. We see things because light reflects off of objets and goes into our eyes. Our mind processes the light & rationalizes what we are seeing. Without light, we cannot see anything. In order to draw or paint in a way that creates an illusion of what we normally see, we must understand light and how it reacts on surfaces. Value is the key to the illusion of light. This is why value is so incredibly important to drawing and painting.
Successful artwork
Artworks that exhibit a full range of value are generally successful. It doesn't matter the type of art you are creating. As long as there are dark values in harmony with light values, your artwork will most likely be aesthetically pleasing. A full range of value means that their are ample amounts of light values - Called tints, and dark values - called shades.

Create a value scale
Create an accurate value scale using charcoal or pencil.
Take a picture of your end result and upload it below.
Keep in mind:
-
Work carefully & with clean hands
-
DO NOT RUSH
-
When finished, the contrast between all steps must be evenly distributed
-
This will take time

apple time

Original apple image

If we were to take out all color, we would still see the apple and recognize it as an apple. In other words, we are just showing the values of the apple...
C.
If we take this one step further and isolate eight of the values, we can see where we would need to draw or paint the values...
Using Value in Drawings
4
The whole point to value is to create the illusion of light. So value is used to basically create the illusion of highlights and shadows. Highlights & shadows combine to create the illusion of a light source. Remember, without light we cannot see. So technically, without a light source, you have no illusion.

Project
1) Pick a color and create your background, making sure to use ALL the values from the value scale (1-9)
2) Once that is dry, you need to sketch out your next step. You must decide what you want to create - Think Halloween
3) You will then use black paint to paint over the background creating your halloween theme
* If you are virtual - Use whatever art materials you have to create this project (colored pencils, markers, oil pastels, paint)
