VALUE REVERSAL

Ivan

Rainey
Yesterday the class made drawings on black paper with white colored pencil. The objective was to create a Value Reversal. Rather than merely draw with white pencil creating the appearance of a negative, students drew the white areas using the black tone of the paper for the shadows while applying light layers of pencil for gray values. The two drawings above reflect the varied methods used. Ivan's drawing exhibits a variety of mark-making with busy directional changes sprinkled with accents addressing the "categories of light." Rainey's drawing addresses the light patterns as well yet she has focused of the light and dark rhythms of the variously toned shapes within the objects.
