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 or it can be a color and the lights(tints) and darks (shades) of that color.

2. Value can be created with: • Any medium - pencil, pen, paint, pastel, etc. • Lines - hatching, cross hatching, random lines. • Textures • Hatching, cross-hatching, stippling • AND MORE…

3. Objective: Value Technique Assignment 1 • Create 5 value scales with a range of 7 • Pencil value • Hatching • Cross hatching • Stippling • Color value

4. How to create a scale • Use a ruler to draw a 1 inch by 7 inch rectangle. • Use a ruler to divide the rectangle into 7 equal blocks • One end of the scale will be the darkest value (black). The other end of the scale will be white. • Each of the center blocks should show the gray value scale making a transition from light to black. • Each block must be a different value.

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

6. HATCHING • Hatching is done with a series of parallel lines. • Different values are achieved by spacing. • The closer together the lines are, the darker the value will be.

7. CROSS-HATCHING • Cross-hatching is done with a series of criss-crossing parallel lines. • Different values are achieved by spacing and by placing the layers of lines at different angle. • The more layers of cross-hatching, the darker the value will be.

8. STIPPLING • Stippling is done with a series of placed dots. • Different values are achieved by spacing. • The closer together the dots are, the darker the value will be.

9. COLOR VALUEMonochromatic color • The lights and darks in color is achieved with tints and shades. • Add white to a color to make it lighter. (tint) • Add black to a color to make it darker. (shade)
