Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of value through listening, and creating a drawing showing a wide range of values. Project: Create a cubist inspired value drawing starting with a contour line drawing. Directions: 1. Select a subject of which you can make a contour line drawing. Focus on a single object, such as a car, insect, person or fish. 2. "Shatter" the subject in some way by breaking it up with lines or shapes or patterns of some sort. These lines will overlap your first drawing. (There are numerous methods you could use, straight lines, spiral, organic lines….) 3. In your drawing, focus on each individual shape you have created, and apply the entire range of value (from black to white) in each shape. Proceed from shape to shape, deciding which part should be the richest black and which should be the lightest gray. Sometimes you may want to alternate from one shape to the next. Also alternated the direction you shade. 4. Fill the entire paper with values, including positive shapes of the object and negative background shapes. Vocab: Value: The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. White is the lightest value; black is the darkest. Cubism: A movement in art that began in France in 1907 that is characterized by the use of geometric planes and shapes. Artists: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Paul Klee, Natalia Goncharova.
