Watch the video above. The author, in analyzing Vincent Van Gogh’s Night Cafe, poses a fascinating questions: “How can an “ugly” painting be a masterpiece?” Consider this question and give your answer by creating a new thread.

• B. Art Activity: Value Scale

  Value is defined as how light or dark something is, and is used in drawing to depict light and shadow. Without light and shadow we could not draw (or see) anything, so it is difficult to overstate the importance of this concept! Mood, atmosphere, composition, and the believability of the image: they all rely on value. If your value structure falls apart, so does your picture! One of the best ways to become familiar with values is to draw a value scale.
  The value scale is a system of organizing values. It consists of a number of values ranging from white to black, with several shades of gray in between. These shades of gray make up the meat of a drawing, and help to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality.
  Instructions: Watch the embedded video above and follow the instructor’s examples and create your own set of 4 value scales.On a single sheet of paper draw 4 bars, each with six squares.
  Label them:

  1. Shade
  2. Scribble
  3. Hatch
  4. Cross-Hatch

  If you have art pencils, use those. If not, a standard pencil is fine. To get full points, there need to be an obvious difference in value between adjacent squares. The scales should go from “paper white” to “black,” which is the darkest value you can create with your drawing tool. At the bottom of the page, clearly write your name. Photograph the sheet of paper. Any type of camera can be used, including a phone camera. Upload the image here.
