Pacing Guide: S1 Unit 7 - Elements of Digital Photographic Design
7A: Teach students to identify, record and use art elements. Students to explore, analyze, and talk about what they see in the physical world and how to describe their own digital art creations.
Objective: Identify and use the art element Value. Explore, analyze, and talk about how they appear in the physical world and describe their use in your own digital art creations.

3. What Are They?
The Elements of Art are fundamental ideas about the practice of good visual design.
An element of art is simply a component, like a tool, that the artist uses to accomplish what he/she sets out to create.
The parts that provide structure to a piece include:
Line
Shape / Form
Value
Space / Perspective
Texture
Color

4. Elements of Art Vocabulary Line Shape / Form Value Space / Perspective
Texture
Color

5. Value

6. Value
Value
The relative degree of light and dark in a design, contrast between black and white.
Value is created by a light source that shines on an object creating highlights and shadows. 
It creates depth within a picture.

7. Example: Value
How is Value being used in these pictures?

8. Concept Review Line Shape Form Value Describes a shape or outline.
Tells the eye where to look.
Group related objects and divide unrelated objects.
Shape
An enclosed space with defined boundaries.
Shape implies two-dimensions: length and width
Form
Form has depth, length, and width and is perceived as three-dimensional.
Value
The relative lightness or darkness of color
Contrast

9. ASSIGNMENT PS Setting Up The Workspace
Open the Line, Shape, Form and Value document
Decide on a form to create, then decide on the type of shadowing you want to use.
Be sure Fill is turned off in the Options Bar and that you are using a Stroke color that is different from your background color.
Typically, light, medium and dark tones of the same shade are used to create value (highlights) within a form. Shadowing is used to create value outside of a form.
NOTE: It is easiest to create Value if you have a multi-surfaced form (cube, triangle, cylinder or custom shape of your making)

10. ASSIGNMENT Creating Value in Photoshop CS6
Create New Layers for each of your Forms
Layer > New > Layer
