Understanding Value in 2D Design

The document outlines an assignment for a 2D Design class to learn about value. It defines value as the lightness or darkness of a surface, important for shading and color. The learning goals are for students to understand how value creates the illusion of form in paintings, control pencil pressure to show value, acknowledge how artists use value, and create a value scale and still life using three value tones. To complete the assignment, students will make a five-value scale and render a still life using the three tonality system.

2D Design

Instructor: Mr. Dressler


Assignment: Value (Principle)

Value---Value is the lightness or darkness of a surface. It is often referred to when


shading but value is also important in the study of color

Learning Goals:
1. Students will identify how value creates the illusion of form in 2-D paintings.
2. Students will enhance their dexterity abilities by controlling the range of
pressure with their pencils.
3. Will acknowledge how various artists incorporate value within their own
work.
4. Students will create a value scale.
5. Students will render a still life utilizing the “Three Tonality System”

Learning Activities:
Part 1 – Using a ruler and pencil, plot lines to create a “5 value” scale. Your value
scale should range from pure white to pure black.
Part 2 – Use your observation skills to render a still life with the “Three Tonality
System”.
