(The background of this slide is an example of value – appearing from darkest at the top, to lightest at the bottom)

Blending

3. Light Waves of energy through the air that our eyes recognize as light and color light travels in single line;

4. Highlight
The spot of an object that is the most illuminated. Light travels in a single line; the first thing it touches will be highlighted.

5. Shadow
The lighter illuminated or non-illuminated portion of an object created because the light is blocked by the side of the object closest to the light source When light travels, it cannot bend around an object, so non-illuminated side is called the shadow, aka “form shadow.”

6. Cast Shadow Reflected Light
The projected shadow of an object onto another object or surface is called the cast shadow.
Reflected Light
The lighter value than the shadow. Located between the shadow and the object’s edge. Value is created by the light bouncing off surface the object is against. Value is never as light as the highlight.

8. Different ways to create value
Stippling: creating value with dots.

9. Different ways to create value
Hatching: creating value with the use of single direction lines

10. Different ways to create value
Cross-hatching: creating value with the use of multi-directional lines

11. Different ways to create value
Blending: creating value by softening or spreading out the lines.
