Art Value Chart

For the very first art project in art we made a value chart. We learned about different techniques to shading and adding contrast. First we learned hatching witch is displayed in the very first 6 columns. Hatching is basically shading going in one direction. We used a selection of pencils that varied in value hence, the value chart. The second technique was cross hatching. I am pretty sure this is the most famous technique because I had heard of it and used it before we learned about it in art. It is almost the same as hatching but the lines cross creating many tiny tiny squares so when you shade you are not using to much pencil and all the extra pencil will shade into the white spaces. The third technique is stipple it was created using sharpie and varied the separation of tiny dots. The last technique was random marks. We could choose any mark and we consistently put it down it different amounts to create the change from dark to light. Rohan said that we are going to use this chart in most projects this year and I know we already have started a project using it which is us drawing our own eye. We have already created a miny value chart on the eye drawing and are starting it now!
