Drawing Value
One of the most common ways to learn about value is to make a value scale
Value scales are named by how many boxes there are
Below is a six-part value scale
Value Scales
This is a 10-part Value Scale
Why would an artist need 10-parts?

Shading Techniques
Hatching Cross-Hatching Blending Stippling
Hatching /Cross Hatching
How would you create the varied areas of light and dark?By changing the PRESSURE of your pencil!
Blending
Avoid using your finger while blending. The oils from your skin stain the paper and cannot
be erased!
Stippling
If you are heard “stabbing” the paper rather than stippling, you are drawing incorrectly.

What is cropping?
Cropping is when you zoom into or cut out a piece of information from your artwork.
Cropping
What is Gridding?Gridding is a system used to enlarge a work of art. Gridding keeps all of your proportions the same when you work on a larger surface.
What is gridding?
Your Assignment:1. Each of you will receive one piece of 12x12 white paper, and one photograph.
2. This photograph will be 1/30th of an entire image.
3. You must grid your photograph onto your larger paper, and add value to each box to match the photograph.
4. When put together, your piece must help the entire composition.
You will be graded on…
1. How well you grid out your image.
2. How well you match the textures/values in your image.
3. How well your piece fits in with the rest of the class.
4. Your time/effort/use of materials.
