VALUE SCALE PROJECT

MATERIALS:

Acrylic paints (black & white), brushes, palette, palette knife, water container, Scotch Magic Tape, ruler, pencil, Bristol pad paper

REVIEW:

“VALUE {element of design}” and “Painting Techniques {technique}” on 2ddesignnscc.blogspot.com

OBJECTIVE:

Create a 9-step value scale progressing from white to black with mid-tone grays in between.  Steps should be equal in value progression with your middle step halfway between white and black, etc. 

Note: Your middle gray will NOT be an equal amount of white and black paint.  Black has much more tinting power in mixtures than white, so you will have to adjust accordingly by trial and error.  You may have to re-paint several squares before achieving perfect steps. 

PRESENTATION:

1” x 9” rectangle on Bristol paper, made up of nine 1” x 1” squares, eventually to be mounted on Balance Project illustration board

DATES (subject to change):

Studio: Wed 4/23

Due: Mon 4/28 (eventually mounted with Balance Project)
