Grade 9 Art - Day 22

In our study of visual art terminology, our next focus word is Value.

Value simply refers to the lightness or darkness of an object.  It is determined by how much light is reflected from an object.  

Here is an example of a variety of values, ranging from light gray to black.














It is important to develop your ability to transition between these values smoothly and accurately.
This example, from helloartsy.com, shows a smooth value transition:

















At this time I want to do a quick recap of the different assignments that you have been assigned:

  • Name Design
  • Regular/Alternating Rhythm
  • One-Point Perspective
  • Contour Line
  • Continuous Line
  • Gesture Line Drawing
* Plus...you have been assigned the task of taking two photographs: One of a favourite place and one of a place that you are indifferent about or flat-out dislike. Secret assignment begins next week!
