In the drawing and painting course, we have been studying value. Value I learnt, is when you use various kinds of shading techniques to create depth in a simple picture. It also can give idea to where the light in the picture is coming from even if it is in black and white. It gives the whole a picture a three-dimensional effect which makes it seem really cool. Even though shading with pencils is easy, Ms.Bammi taught us how to show value even between different markers. I learnt that by spacing out the lines with thinner markers and fatter markers, we are able to achieve a contrast between the various areas in the picture. To add to this, we recreated a Vincent Van Gough painting using only various sized black markers. We were able to re-think in which directions the lines would go, and how their length would vary. This is what we have been doing so far and art,and it's pretty cool because now I know it's not so hard to add depth into a simple black and white drawing/painting.
