  1. Using value in a design

  2. Recall… • Areas facing a light source are lightest in value. • Areas facing away from a light source are darker. • Light also creates shadows. • A single bright light creates shadows that are sharp and dark-valued. • Multiple light sources or indirect lighting produce lighter shadows with softer edges. • Shadows and varying shades of gray can create the illusion of three-dimensional space or volume.

  3. Value Used to Show Depth • The farther away that objects are from the foreground in a landscape or cityscape, usually the lighter they are in value. • If an artist uses all light or all dark values, the space within his or her design may seem shallow, with little or no depth. • Artists often depict the actual effects of light, but sometimes they choose to alter or invent them. • The values may not be realistic, but they can strengthen the mood to better suit the artist’s intended effect.

  4. Harold Lloyd, Safety Last

  5. You will create… • Draw a cityscape showing depth of buildings using many different values. • You may use a shading, hatching, or cross-hatching technique or all three, if you choose. • The buildings must be three-dimensional.
