Establishing Value
True or false: blocking in is concerned with details or the subtleties of graduation, and does not focus on general values.

What are effective ways to establish the appearance of physicality and imply the tangible properties of objects in drawing?
Linear modeling and cross contour lines.
One purpose of using value in a drawing is to describe ______.
Form
Chiaroscuro
From the Italian meaning "light-dark". The modeling of forms using value to create the impression of volume.
A certain amount of value contrast is required in order to characterize what?
How light lands on an object, and thus value contrast is also needed in order to establish a form in drawing.
What is a draw back to natural light?
It is ever changing.
What is a draw back to artificial light?
It's very artificiality can create an unnattractive or harsh impression.
Why is natural light desirable?
Its color and true to life characteristics
The shape in which a value is applied is (key OR unimportant) to the representation of an image
Key
One of the most profound ways to use value in drawing is to depict what?
Light
When an object is illuminated from one side, that side will appear:
Lighter in value than the side of the object that faces away from the light.
What are some ways form can be created?
Line, planes, and value.
Blocking in values is sometimes referred to as:
Mapping values
The relationship between value and shape gives an object it's sense of what
Materiality, light, and substance.
A convincing illusion of form is created in a drawing when an artist does what?
Mimics the natural way that light falls over a three dimensional form.
It is hard for the human to perceive more than how many values in a drawing?
Nine
What are some conditions that influence value?
Object's local color, amount of light an area receives, and by other surrounding values.
What can create an optical mixing affect?
Stippling and linear modeling techniques.
Why is artificial light desirable?
Offers more control.
Mass values can also be used to what
Organize and define a composition.
elementary solids (simple geometric forms) include
Pyramids, cubes, cylinders, and sphere.
In transparent construction, objects are described as what
Simple geometric forms.
What and what will determine the degree of value contrast that is seen with light?
Strength of the light source and its distance from the illuminated object
A _____ light source will create ______ contrasting values.
Stronger;Higher
Cast shadow
The absence of light created by an object that interrupted the light source
Local color
The actual color of the surface, as it would be if it were unaffected by light or shadow.

Form shadow
The area of the form that turns away from the light source and is composed of dark values.
How do you use the toned paper technique?
The artist leaves the paper exposed in those areas of the composition that match the tone of the paper. Light and dark media are added to extend the value range.
When drawing on white paper, what is the brightest value an artist can get?

Coreshadow
The darkest part of the shadow zone.

The investigation of how an object can be divided into planes.
The lightest values will appear on the areas of a dorm that directly faces what?
The light source
Light half tone
The lightest of the transitional values located toward the light zone.

The part of the shadow area that receives indirect light from the environment
To create the illusion of form on a two dimensional surface using value, one must be acquainted with the way in which:
The pattern of light and shadow affects three dimensional objects.
Value refers to
The relative lightness or darkness of an area or object.
Penumbra
The soft outer edge of a cast shadow
Sfumato

One traditional way of establishing value in a drawing is to work on what
Toned paper

True
True or false: Values that are next to each other on the value scale exhibit low contrast, while those that are far apart have high contrast.
True
True or false: a rounded form will display a smooth gradation of tones.
True
True or false: areas where the light is interrupted by a shadow will be darker than that same surface in full light.
True
True or false: elementary solids have obvious structures defined by planes while other objects are irregular and multifaceted require the invention of planes in order to interpret their forms.
True
When is blocking in often used?
Using wet media.
Light is responsible for
Visual perception: objects would be invisible without the value contrast that it creates.
value scale
a diagram representing an incremental progression of values from black to white
Value pattern (compositional cohesion)
a distinct pattern or configuration that emerges from the repetition of lights and darks
Deploying a majority of dark values produces
a somber and mysterious effect.
