From Shape to Form!

The term value is used in art to describe the lightness or darkness of lines, shapes, and colors.

Look carefully at the sectons of Picasso's drawing Woman in White. Locate at least five different values and try to draw them .



Artists use values in various ways. Picasso shaded objects to make them look three-dimensional (not flat). Shading is a very gradual change from light to dark values.


Describe where you see shading in Woman in White. How does Picasso's use of value effect the work's meaning?
