Value and value_scales
Value refers to the lights and darks in an artwork. There are two types of value: achromatic which uses black, white and grays without color, and chromatic which uses a color and its tints and shades. Value patterns arrange values to control compositional movement and create unity. A value scale shows the range from light to dark. It can be stepped with distinct blocks of gray values or blended with smooth, gradual transitions between values.

- 1. Value Value is anelement of art & design. Value is defined as the lights and darks in an art work. Achromatic Value is black, white and ranges of grays (no color). Chromatic Value is a color and the lights (tints) and darks (shades) of that color.
- 2. Value High-key Value isdefined as a value that has a level of middle gray or lighter Low-key Value is defined as a value that has a level of middle gray or darker Value Pattern is the arrangement or organization of values that control compositional movement and create a unifying effect throughout a work of art.
- 3. Value Scale A steppedvalue scale from light to dark.
- 4. Create a valuescale • One end of the scale will be the darkest value (black). • The other end of the scale will be white.
- 5. Create a steppedvalue scale • Each of the center blocks should show the gray value scale making a transition from white to black. • Each block must be a different value.
- 6. Use the Pencilto apply values • The pencil value should have a smooth surface. Use light, smooth strokes and build up the value by overlapping layers of pencil.
- 7. Blended Value Scale Agradation of value from light to dark.
- 8. Grading Criteria: Your drawingshould show a… Range of values/gradation. Smooth, even, gradual transitions from dark to light. Good craftsmanship; no smudges, rough edges or white gaps between values.
