A new way of “seeing” that kept painting relevant with the advent of the camera

Fractured Value Project!
Fractured Value Project!
Steps1. Complete value scale
2. Sketch out idea in sketchbook (draw contour lines, fracture image, decide values)
3. Redraw image with fractures on larger paper. Begin shading.
4. Add value to each shape.
Value Scale
Value ScaleComplete a 10 pt value scale using an ebony
pencil
Blend!
The lightest value will be white and the darkest value will be black.
Contour LinesDefinition: Outlines or exterior shell of an
object.
Pick a subject and draw the contour lines to fill up the majority of thumbnail in your sketchbook.
Reminder: This is a sketch, not a completed work of art. It should not take long.
Fracture the image / add value
Break up or “fracture” your image in a linear way to make your image look like a puzzle.
Remember: the more lines, the more complicated your image will be. This also means the more time it will take. Choose wisely!
You will fill each section, or shape, from black to white value just like with the value scale.
Decide how you will fill each section in your sketchbook BEFORE you start your project!
