Today we applied what we knew from value and made them into designs on a piece of paper. We used frottage, erasure and tracing to make these wonderful designs 'come to life'.
This is my "mirrored image name project" . To create this piece we had to write our name in a cursive font and then replicate it on the other side as if a mirror was there. We then had to add value effects and disguise our name.
Value isn't just the quality of colour in a picture, it simply defines lines by emphasizing the lightness and darkness of them. It is crucial when drawing because it shows depth and almost gives it a 3D effect on a flat piece of paper.
