Picture Plane Background Middle Ground Foreground

Positive and Negative Space Positive Negative

How to draw using 1-point perspective Start with a square Add a dot off in the distance (the VANISHING POINT) Extend a line from every corner of the square (unless it cuts through the square) Close off the lines with parallel lines

Overlapping objects also give the illusion of space.

Texture The way that something feels (tactile) or the way something looks like it feels (implied). Create a rubbing Draw something with implied texture Glue something in with actual texture

Texture Rubbing – taking an object that already has texture and putting it under a paper surface then rub your paper with a crayon or pencil

Implied Texture – texture that is drawn using mark making techniques on paper – you cannot actually feel it

Tactile Texture – texture that you can actually feel.

Value The range of lightness and darkness of a color. It’s created when a light source shines on an object giving it shadows and highlights. In a drawing it give the illusion of depth. Tint: is adding white to color paint to create lighter values such as light blue or pink.   Shade: is adding black to paint to create dark values such as dark blue or dark red.

Intensity of Value High intensity is where the picture is all light values. The image mostly white or lighter colors. Low intensity is where the picture is all dark values. The image mostly consists of darker colors.

Value Scale is a scale that shows the gradual change in value from its lightest value, white, to its darkest value, black.

Form A three-dimensional shape. In drawing or painting using value can imply form. For example, shading a circle in a certain way can turn it into a sphere. 

In your sketchbook – draw each of the forms below and add value:
