Value in Art

In terms of value, the highlight is the

• Lightest part of the subject.

• Most interesting part of the subject.

• Most memorable part of the subject.

• Darkest part of the subject.

Chiaroscuro is defined as:

• the process of using sharp contrasts between light and shadow to emphasize the subject matter of a painting.

• The process of using sharp objects to make a scratchy texture on an artwork.

• An object used to paint lines in abstract paintings.

• A process in art that combines two or more primary colors as the main focus of the painting.

The cast shadow is defined as:

• The medium-shade shadow on the object/subject matter.

• The darkest shadow on the object/subject matter.

• The shadow that is formed behind the light source.

• The shadow that is made by the object/subject matter on to the surface it is on.

Additive drawing is where the artist:

• Draws directly with their medium on to the paper/canvas.

• Uses an eraser to remove medium from the paper/canvas.

• Adds two types of media to create a third medium.

• Uses more than one piece of paper to make a thicker paper/canvas.

Subtractive drawing is where the artist:

• Uses charcoal to make the subject matter bigger.

• Uses an eraser or other tool to remove medium from the paper/subject matter to enhance the artwork.

• Cuts out parts of the paper to make the drawing smaller and enhance it.

• Uses a calculator to determine how much charcoal is used to create the accurate shade.

The principle of design that Chiaroscuro focuses on is:

• Contrast (light vs. dark)

• Color (primary vs. secondary)

• Texture (soft vs. rough)

• Size (large vs. small)
