This week, our Year 7–9 students explored one of the important elements of art: Value. They learned how artists use lightness and darkness to create depth, dimension, and realism in their work.
Students practised creating a 9-step value scale using both pencil and paint. This exercise helped them understand how value can be gradually changed from light to dark.
They then applied this knowledge to draw a realistic cube, carefully shading to show light, mid-tones, and shadows. The results were fantastic and showed a great understanding of how value brings drawings to life.
Well done to all our students for their hard work and creativity this week!
