How to teach value in art

If you're looking for an easy approach to teaching kids art, there's no better system than using the elements and principles of art. I'm talking value,

2nd Graders learned all about the element of art VALUE. I made up a poster that had value vocabulary: Tint, Shade, Tone, Hue, Value scale. We also looked at different art prints and discussed how artists use value to create contrast and volume in their artwork. They then created these great butterflies using the principles of symmetry and painting in the different shapes with different values of one hue.

This is a lesson designed to teach value, grid drawing, and shading. In this lesson students will draw a silver balloon of their choice using the grid method. Students will create a value scale and shade the drawing using shading techniques to create a realistic balloon. This lesson will teach students about the correct graphite pencils to use, tips for using the pencil, how to find values in a drawing and how to find the relationship between values. Great lesson to use for an introduction…
