  1. 2/9/09 Look at both paintings. Which one has the better composition and use of value. WHY?????

  2. COMPOSITION&VALUE Sock Monkey says, “You MUST remember these when you paint!!!”

  3. COMPOSITION • This is one of the most important things that you can learn as an artist! • How YOU select and organize lines, shapes, value, etc….AND how you use the Elements of Art and Principles of Design!

  4. ImageFormat • Portrait or Landscape • YOU’RE the artist and YOU choose how you want your painting or drawing to look!!!!!

  5. Points of Interest • You need to have one main area of focus that is like you “main idea” that you want the viewer to pay attention to • Usually has more detail, more contrast, more shading, etc • Should be the most interesting spot in your work

  6. “Rules” of Composition • No BULL’s EYE compositions!!!!!!

  7. “Rule of Thirds” • By far, the most well-known design rule • If you divide the paper into thirds, objects should be places where the ‘thirds’ cross. • Again, stay away from putting things into the center of the paper!

  8. Avoid placing objects in a row on the page • Instead, try placing them up and down on the plane, to avoid monotony. BAD GOOD

  9. Rhythm & Directional Lines • A good composition has rhythm…directional lines too! • Draw the viewer’s eye around the whole page…

  10. *CROPPING* • CROPPING! – does it extend beyond the border of your page or does the page enclose the whole image? • This is the EASIEST way to make your drawing OR painting unique

  11. RIGHT ON!!!!!!!! Not so fabulous………

  12. VALUE • Is how we get the ILLUSION of three dimensions in a drawing… • Creates depth on a flat object

  13. For value, we need a light source…

  14. CHIAROSCURO (= value) Highlight Mid-tones Shadow Reflected light Cast shadow

  15. Things to remember.. • 1 – we don’t use LINES to do value. Let a value be your edge….a dark value up next to a light value produces an EDGE without having to draw a LINE • 2 – When you add value to an object, really LOOK at what you see! Make sure there is a GRADUAL change from one value to the next, unless it really looks that way!

  16. Your Assignment Today • Using whatever shape of paper I have given you, you will find the best composition possible (you might need to move around the table to find it) • You will draw from observation using the whole page AND using LOTS of values!!!
