CYCLE 3

Topic:  Value & Shading

Drawing inspiration from Genesis 1:3, "God created light and separated it from the darkness," students can develop a deep understanding of value, depth, and shading in art. This verse serves as a metaphor for the foundational principle that light, by its very existence, defines what is illuminated and what remains in shadow. This separation creates the visual information that allows us to perceive form, dimension, and texture.

Goal:  

Apply shading to show depth. 

 APK:  

Review use of pencil pressure.

New information: 

 Demonstrate value scales.

Value in art is essentially how light or dark something is on a scale of white to black (with white being the highest value and black being the lowest value).

Application: 

Shade spheres and cubes.

Generalization: 

 Students share discoveries about light/dark.

Biblical Integration: 

Genesis 1:3 – God created light and separated darkness.
