We need to learn:1. Value2. Form

3. Composition4. Color Theory

5. Charcoal6. Anatomy

Value

A range of darks to lights. When combined in the

correct manner, something begins to take

on 3D qualities. Value creates interest to a piece.

Form vs. Form vs. ShapeShape

A shape is an element of art that contains 2D qualities.

Length and width.

A form is a shape that now contains 3D qualities.

Length, width, and height.

Shape

A common rule of practice for perfecting composition

is the rule of thirds.
