Value
1. Create value using
• Shading
• Hatching/cross-hatching
• Stippling
2. Value is used to give a shape dimension.
Shapes become forms when value is added.
Shading
is the technique of
adding value to an object.
This is accomplished
by holding the graphite
at an angle, creating a
smooth gradation.
Gradation is the
smooth blending
from light to dark.
Shading
Stippling
is the use of dots to
create value (technique).
This is accomplished by
placing dots very close
together to create dark
values and farther apart
to create lighter values.
Stippling
Cross-hatching
is using irregular lengths of
parallel lines, sometimes
crossing over each other
diagonally, to create value.
The closer together the
lines are placed, the darker
the value. One direction
parallel lines are hatching.
Hatching
Cross Hatching
NOT ALLOWED

Cross Hatching
Each of you will receive one or two 1 in x
1in square. You will have to re-create the
value of that square by stippling on a 3in
x 3in square of white paper. You will then
get another square to re-create by crosshatching. There will be a number on the
back of the square make sure you write
that number down on the back of your
3in square. We will be putting these all
together to create a large grid picture.
