Unit 1 - Value: An Element of Design Note

What is Value? 

Value is the lightness and darkness of a hue.  Value is looking at how objects react to light. 


Contrast - is the difference between elements.  Contrast in value would mean light against dark.  

High Key Value- is when you have very dark and very light values, therefore create contrast


Low Key Value - is when you have very similar values of light and dark greys
