Value - what is it?

1. Why is value so important in ART?

     Value shows the form and texture in an object or piece of art work.

2. How does the element of value relate to the element of texture?

     The value shows the shadows of any little detail.

3. List 5 ways of rendering (ie. drawing) value. 

• cross hatching
• shading 
• stippling
• parallel lines
• scribbling

4. Describe what we mean by "building value" in drawing.

     By layering your design to make the lines closer together making it appear darker.

5. How do we best see value?

     When we squint because the lines are blurred so that we only see the shade of colour.
