Value scale art projects

This work sheet allows your students to practice the 4 (5) shading techniques (just using a pencil, smudging/blending, hatching, cross-hatching, stippling). On the back students can learn and practice how to draw and shade basic forms using any of the techniques from the front.

These small landscapes have been painted with watercolors, by 7th-grade students after a lesson about landscape and the representation of space with value scale. Here below a video tutorial to foll…

To continue our journey to discover the colors, with the year 7 classes, we painted landscapes in tempera tonal gradation. The forms that become more clear to the horizon can give a sense of distan…

The idea was to some up with a creative way of creating a scale with 11 values from black to white and everything in between. The human eye can only see 44 different values in between black and white. Apparently the most a person has ever created without using a computer is 12. Here are 11.

Students will develop their crafts of value gradient/shading as well as 3D drawings with Value Chart Cakes. 6th to 12th grade -step by step instructions and images, value chart/shading activities, step by step cakes

These were done by my Intermediate and Advanced 2-d students as a warm up/drawing review at the beginning of the year. I'm just a little tardy getting them posted.

The whole thing was done in graphite. Above we have senior Michael Chen (Art II) with this very clean piece, and below is senior Crislyn…

VALUE SCALES 7TH GRADE ART WHEEL - 2ND QUARTER - 2016-2017 graphite on paper & colored pencil accents Let me introduce my 2nd Quarter 7th graders.

And she's created values everywhere and has picked up a bit of extra credit for that. Next is Amy Wang who obviously is coming in with some self-taught drawing skills. Wow…
