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.
Value can be created with:
•
•
•
•
Any medium - pencil, pen, paint,pastel, etc.
Lines - hatching, cross hatching, random lines.
Textures
Dots - stippling, pointilism
Objective: Value Technique
Assignment 1
• Create 5 value scales with a range of 7
– Pencil value
– Hatching
– Cross hatching
– Stippling
– Color value
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.
PENCIL VALUE
• The pencil value should have a smooth
surface. Use light, smooth strokes and build
up the value by overlapping layers of
pencil.
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.
CROSS-HATCHING
• Cross-hatching is done with a series of crisscrossing 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.
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.
COLOR VALUE
Monochromatic 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)
