  1. VALUE

  2. VALUE • Value is the element of design that denotes the lightness or darkness of a color or neutral. • Value is related to the amount of light a color reflects. • Not all colors have the SAME value,( yellow is the lightest, violet is the darkest,) but all colors have light values and dark values OF THEIR OWN HUE. • Tint is a light value of a hue, also called a pastel. Pink is a tint of red. Baby blue is a tint of blue. • Shade is a dark value of a hue. Maroon is a shade of red, while Navy is a shade of blue.

  3. Value • Value is a property that applies to both color (red, blue, green, etc.) and to neutrals ( white, black, grey, brown).

  4. Value • Changes in value may be caused or affected by pressure applied as the medium is placed on the art surface….for example, when working with graphite, or crayon, a light pressure will give a lighter application of medium than a heavy pressure. The light pressure results in a lighter value, the heavier pressure gives a darker value. Leonardo da Vinci, Study of Arm and Hands. C. 1474

  5. Value • Value may also be manipulated by density. When certain techniques are used, such as hatching, crosshatching or stippling, the value changes with the spacing, or density. The more space between the marks, the lighter the value, the less space between the marks the darker the value. Leonardo da Vinci, Study for the Head of Leda. c. 1505-7

  6. Value and Color • The value any given color may be altered or manipulated by the addition of white, black, brown, a compliment, a darker value of the same color family, etc.

  7. Value • With some media, the value may be lightened by the addition of solvent. An example would be watercolor, or acrylic, which may be lightened by adding water. Ellie Freudenstein, Canal Morning. 11x14 in. Ray Hunter, Monday in Burano. 17x21 in. Watercolor

  8. Value High-key painting • High-key refers to light values of a color or colors. • Low-key refers to dark values of a color or colors. Claude Monet, Venice, The Grand Canal. 1908. Oil on canvas. Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco. Low-key painting

  9. High-key Value • An artwork that contains mostly light values would be said to be a high-key artwork. • An artwork that contains mostly dark values of color would be considered a low-key artwork Georgia O’Keefe, White Rose with Larkspur. Oil on canvas. 11 x 14 in Low-key Maryanne Jacobsen, Blue Bayou. 2008. Low key palette knife swamp. (40.6 cm X 30.5 cm), oil on masonite

  10. Value Expressive qualities: • If the change in value within an artwork is gradual, the design produces a calm feeling. • If the values within an artwork takes large leaps up and down the scale, from almost white, to almost black, the artwork has an active, almost nervous feel. John Constable, The Haywain. 1821. Oil on canvas. The National Gallery, London. Chaim Soutine, Céret Lanscape/ Paysage de Céret. c. 1920. Oil on canvas. 50.1 x 60.3 cm. Private collection.
