Understanding Values, Key and Negative Space

The document discusses the use of values and negative space in design. It defines value as the shades of grey between black and white that create form through light and shadows. A value scale ranges from 0 (black) to 10 (white). Negative space is the empty space around objects that is important for accurately depicting positive space and can be used as a compositional tool. The design project prompts drawing negative spaces around a figure, dividing the image into thirds, and shading each area with high key, low key, and a range of values.
Understanding Values, Key and Negative Space
- 2. VALUE -different shades of grey between white and black. -creates form with light and shadows. -Tone is when GREY is added to color -color has value
- 3. Valuescale: a grey scale with a developed range of values from 0 (black) to 10 (white) *for our purposes
- 12. All Value transitions should be handled either as a soft edge or a hard edge.
- 16. NEGATIVE SPACE -empty space around an object or form; also called white space -important to utilize for accuracy of positive space -should be explored as a design element and compositional tool
- 20. KEY High Key-using values towards the upper range on the scale Low Key-using values towards the lower range on the scale Contrast-Comparison of strong unlike qualities such as value, size, etc to create emphasis or focal points
- 22. DESIGN PROJECT: -Draw negative spaces surrounding a figure in action. -Once negative shapes are identified, divide the image into equal thirds (can also add additional divisions for design) -Using pencil, shade each area as : high key values, low key values, and a range of all values.
