Project DescriptionValue in the literary sense refers to something of great importance. Each of us has attributes and traits that we value, such as strength, beauty, innovative, caring or having a good sense of humor. Equally we tend to model ourselves after others that represent such values.
In art value as a different meaning. It deals with shadows and how we deal with lights and darks. Understanding value is essential to composing a realistic drawing because it is used to make an object look like it has volume instead of only being restricted to the 2 dimensional surface that it lays on. That is why value is one of the essential Elements of Art. In this assignment students are to combine their understanding of value by choosing an individual who represent a concept that they value and then render them using a printed reference. Students will use their observational drawing techniques to render the figure as realistically as possible. Students will divid up the image into five section and shade each with hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, smooth shading and one unique method developed by the student. Below is the slide show of the process, and below that is the student gallery. Click on the gallery image to make it larger. |
