WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Today we will review our art analysis assignment and start working with a new element of art Value.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Value in art is the scale from black to white and all the levels of grey in between. Being able to use value well makes your artwork more pleasing and easier to understand.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice some basic value shading techniques.

First we'll practice making a value scale from evenly blended pencil shading.
You will make a five step value scale, then you will make a ten step value scale.
Notice one box is completely empty. This is your brightest value. Can't get any brighter than the white page.
Then we will practice shading with other techniques.
Hatching is shading using lines all going the same direction.
Crosshatching is shading with lines that intersect.
Stippling is shading with dots.
You will also experiment with creating your own texture to create a value scale.
