“Value” in visual arts is how dark or light a surface is. Most accomplished artists know that value is more important than color. Training the eye to see value is key to creating believable, three-dimensional illusion when drawing or painting. In this course, students will complete assignments that improve the artist's ability to see value and use simple tools to find the value of any given object.
