Understanding Value in Art: Techniques and Scales

In art, "value" refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. The three major values are white, gray, and black. To help artists understand these variations, a value scale serves as a visual guide showing the gradual transition from solid black to solid white, typically consisting of ten distinct values. For homework, students will create 5 value scales using techniques such as hatch, crosshatch, stipling, and scribble, to explore and deepen their understanding of value in their artwork.
