Value Study - 12/11-12/18

Value Study


Lesson Objective: Students will understand value in art and how to make different values of one color.

Essential Skill to be Mastered: To be able to create seven different shades of one color.

I Can Statement: I can create seven different varying shades using just one color.

Teaching Strategy: First talk about value and how it is used to create depth in picture. Then show an example of what they will be doing. Then model how to create a consistant darkening value using just one color or a graphite pencil. Then show students how to apply that value to turn a shape into what looks like a 3D picture. Use guided practice to ensure students understand how to go from a white object to a dark object using just 7 darkening values.

Materials:
12x18 drawing paper
Pencil
Colored pencils
Ruler

Instructions:
1. Students will draw 7 of the same shapes on one side of the paper and 7 different shapes on the other side.
2. Number the shapes 1-7.
3. Number 1 will be white (students will not have to color it).
4. Numbers 2 -7 will be a value scale going from the lightest of the color in number 2 and darkening in each consecutive number until number 7 is the darkest.
5. One side students will use a regular pencil and the other side students will use a colored pencil.
