6. Before we can do this... We need to learn: 1. Value 2. Form 3. Composition 4. Color Theory 5. Charcoal 6. Anatomy

7. Value A range of darks to lights. When combined in the correct manner, something begins to take on 3D qualities. Value creates interest to a piece.

8. Form vs. Shape A shape is an element of art that contains 2D qualities. Length and width. A form is a shape that now contains 3D qualities. Length, width, and height. Shape Form

9. Composition The arrangement of the visual elements of art. A common rule of practice for perfecting composition is the rule of thirds.

13. So what are we doing again? Students will create three separate drawings that will eventually go together containing distinct, different, or similar visual messages. This will be expressed in body form. visual communication Students will learn about value, composition, charcoal, color theory, form, visual communication, and anatomy.
