Value

1
Value

• Value is an element of design.
• Value is defined as the lights and darks in an
  art work.
• Value can be black, white and ranges of grays.
• Value can be a color and the lights (tints) and
  darks (shades) of that color.

2
Value Scale

• A gradation of value from light to dark.

3
Pencil Value

• Create a pencil value scale with a range of 7

4
Create a value scale

1. Use a ruler to draw a 1 inch by 7 inch rectangle.
   Center on the paper.
2. Use a ruler to divide the rectangle into 7 equal
   blocks

5
Create a value scale

• 3.One end of the scale will be the darkest value
  (black).
• 4. The other end of the scale will be white.

6
Create a value scale

• 5. Each of the center blocks should show the gray
  value scale making a transition from white to
  black.
• 6. Each block must be a different value.

7
Use the Pencil to apply values

• 7. The pencil value should have a smooth surface.
  Use light, smooth strokes and build up the value
  by overlapping layers of pencil.

Using a Pencil to create Value

• A Pencil can be used to show the range of values
  that a light source produces on an object or
  group of objects.
• Pencil shading can be used to show the cast
  shadows as well.
• These techniques will help you to create the
  illusion of three-dimensions.

9
Graduate the pencil values from light to dark.

1. Identify the direction of the light source.
2. Remember that the side of an object nearest to
   the light source will be white or the lightest
   value.
3. The side farthest away from the light source will
   be black or the darkest value.

10
Graduate the pencil values from light to dark.
Use the shape of the object as your guide.

• Light source

11
Add cast shadows away from the light source.
12
Pencil values can be

• Created to imitate the texture of the objects
  that you are drawing.
• Smooth objects should be drawn with a smooth
  technique while textured objects should be drawn
  using stippling, hatching or other specific
  drawing techniques.
• Value should be built up by overlapping layers of
  pencil.
• Make sure to shade with the shape of the object!

Grading Criteria

• Your drawing should show a
• Range of values/gradation.
• Appropriate rendering of surface texture.
• Good craftsmanship.
