An 8 week digital art course that develops highlighting and shading! In "Value and Shading" we will look at light sources and how shadows are cast, the different types of shadows and highlights and how to "get it right" when sketching. 

**This class assumes an understanding of whatever digital app your student works in! I will not be teaching the apps in this class, rather USING the apps to explore art history through the various mediums and methods they provide** if your student needs to learn how to use Procreate or Ibispaint, please see my Intro series before enrolling in the "Drawing" classes!

Through the eight weeks of our study of  value we will define value and work with different means of creating value. We will work with hatching, cross hatching, stippling and scribbling as we explore different value scales. Additionally, we will look at abstract value composition.

Week 1: Stippling, hatching, cross hatching and scribbling value charts, Stippling practice while changing light sources.

Homework: Same three objects with hatching, cross hatching and scribbling. Symmetry bug

Week 2:  Cast shadow, form shadow, reflective highlight with shading, stippling, hatching. Use these principles to draw from reference photo,

Homework: Finish classwork, Symmetry bug

Week 3:Shading shiny objects and blending.

Homework: Symmetry bug and shiny object

Week 4: Value in objects Dark to light - adding volume and dimension with charcoal (available on the drawing apps)

Homework: Finish classwork, add color, symmetry bug,

Week 5: Shading exercise with emphasis on reflective light and cast shadow using artist crayon (available in drawing app) 

Homework: Finish classwork, bug symmetry

Week 6: Micrography

Homework: Finish classwork, symmetry bug,

Week 7: Abstract Value Composition, blending and mandalas

Homework: Finish classwork, symmetry bug

Week 8: Mandala with line for value. Color optional.

Homework: Bug symmetry, finish classwork.

**Again, this class assumes an understanding of  the chosen digital srawing app! I will not be teaching the apps in this class, rather USING the apps to explore art concepts through the various mediums and methods they provide** If your student needs to learn how to use Procreate, please see my Intro series before enrolling in the "Drawing School" series!****
