Form and Value | Mr. Fatta

By shading with different values of gray artists can create the illusion of space and form in their drawings. Properly positioning the highlight, mid-tone, and shadow areas artists can make a basic shape can look like is has real three-dimensional form. Study the featured images below, analyze and identify where the artists placed the different shades of gray to create a feeling of form in the image. In this assignment you will practice applying different pressures on the pencil to get a variety of values gray to create the illusion of form. Review the target objectives listed below and the assigned topic in Google Classroom and create a series of sketches of common household items around your home. Take a picture of your completed illustration and insert the image onto a new slide in your Google Slides portfolio, title, and label the slide.
