  12. Dark Values • To suggest dark and gloomy days, nighttime or dim lighting, an artist uses darker values. • The lack of brightness tells the viewer that the source of light is weak or far away. • A work that uses mainly dark-valued colors is low-keyed. • Low-keyed colors have been mixed with black and grey.

  14. Francisco Goya y Lucientes Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes 1746–1828) was a Spanish painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. Goya was a court painter to the Spanish Crown, and through his works was both a commentator on and chronicler of his era. The subversive imaginative element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided a model for the work of later generations of artists, notably Manet, Picasso and Francis Bacon. In his honour, Spain's main national film awards are called the Goya Awards.

  20. Value Contrast • Artists emphasize not only dark or light values, but include values from all over the scale • Light values placed next to medium or dark values create value contrast. This contrast helps viewers distinguish between different parts of a design and can make an area of a design stand out. • The greatest possible contrast is between back and white

  21. Center of Interest The center of interest is a special area to which the artist wishes to draw the viewers attention. The center of interest, usually where the artist wishes the viewer to look first, may also contain a design’s most important object or figure
