This document discusses techniques for creating form and value on a 2D surface. It introduces historical and contemporary artists who have mastered techniques like point shading, side shading, scumbling, line weight, contour shading, and graduated shading. Examples are given of how controlling value through these techniques can be used to depict form effectively or abstractly on a 2D plane.
