Today my art project students began exploring value. I gave them black paper and white crayons, and showed them how to look at a black and white image of a round object, observing the zones of light. I showed them how to use a white crayon to reproduce the different values from 1 to 4 using various pressure with the crayon, leaving the black paper as the darkest. They produced some very interesting work and are beginning to see.
I made a couple of sample works. First I painted a rectangle of india ink, the use only the white crayon to draw my subject. Below is a simple ball I drew to demonstrate the zones of light.
This is my 19th entry into the #Inktober challenge.
As always, thank you so much for looking. Leave a comment if you'd like.
