VALUE SCALES ADVANCED 2-D ART graphite on bristol board with collage paper frame Senior Samantha Tun is the lone ranger in my Advanced 2-D class, that's 3rd year drawing, painting and design. For her 1st assignment she had 3 days to create a 15 step Value Scale (not an easy task). Using a cityscape is a great place to line up values next to each other, but it was her collage frame that caught my eye. I really like how she combined the old Hymnal paper with the tye-dye pieces. Note also how…

VALUE SCALES 7TH GRADE ART WHEEL - 2ND QUARTER - 2016-2017 graphite on paper & colored pencil accents Let me introduce my 2nd Quarter 7th graders. They like my first group had a couple of real knuckleheads but overall, another talented bunch. Let me show a couple off. Sabrina Liu starts us off with this adorable dragon. And she's created values everywhere and has picked up a bit of extra credit for that. Next is Amy Wang who obviously is coming in with some self-taught drawing skills. Wow…

Drawing is a skill anyone can learn. November is National Novel Writing Month– or NaNoWriMo. In case you’ve never heard of NaNoWriMo, it’s a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. The idea is that, by setting aside some time to write a little each day, in one month you’ll have written […]

These were done by my Intermediate and Advanced 2-d students as a warm up/drawing review at the beginning of the year. I'm just a little tardy getting them posted. My Intermediate class had to do a ten step value scale and my Advanced kids a 15 step scale. They were allowed to be as creative as possible with their subjects that their scales were put into. The whole thing was done in graphite. Above we have senior Michael Chen (Art II) with this very clean piece, and below is senior Crislyn…

I created this post to discuss how an artist can think technically about achieving an intended value key discussed in the previous post. This method helps to simplify an overwhelming number of values into a more workable structure at early stages of a painting (a digital one in this case). The loose renderings below are quick head studies from my imagination as they might be lit for dramatic and compositional purposes. I began with this basic head drawing which indicates some of the major…

For some reason I find it easiest to teach value by going paint, then crayon, then colored pencil then graphite. So we start with paint. Official definition of Value (tone, tint, shade...) "refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork." Middle school definition of value..."this is hard, why do we have to do this....I want to do something fun!" Ah teaching value at a more advanced level can be a pain in the butt. I find younger students are perfectly happy to learn…

These value scales were done by my 2nd year 2-D kids as a warm-up exercise at the beginning of the school year. Yeah, I know I'm very late in posting them. See if you can find the scale in this first piece by junior Belinda Wu. This is her first year with me and she is coming to me with exceptional skills. She has cleverly hidden the scale in her table tops. Her attention to detail and her shading abilities are remarkable. This next piece by senior Halah Elsahhar is lovely. Her craftsmanship…

VALUE SCALES 7TH GRADE ART WHEEL - 3RD QUARTER - 2017-2018 graphite & colored pencil accents Let me introduce you to probably one of the most talented 7th graders I had the pleasure of working with last year, Itzel Huerta. The piece above was the very first piece she created for me and when she turned it in I was blown out of the water. Can you find her 3 value scales in the piece? OMG, this is so not 7th grade level. I was absolutely delighted to have her aboard. And lucky for me she is…
