Chapter 12: Value

What is Value/Value Contrast?
The Art and Design term for light and dark. Value shows the differences between one or more colors.The relationship between areas of light and dark.. For example the picture below shows the values of gray.

Value Pattern
The arrangement and the amount of variation in light and dark, independent of any colors used.

Value Empahsis
high contrast in one area and subdued contrast elsewhere so you can get the viewer to concentrate on a certain object. The picture below shows value empahsis because the lighter background brings out the main object/figure which is the model because she is dark.

What is Chiaroscuro?
A drawing using only line is very effective in showing shapes. It uses light to produce depth.
