This document discusses using value in contour drawings to add focal points. It explains that adding detailed shading and contour lines with attention to line weight can create a full composition while also focusing the viewer's attention on an important area. Examples are provided of drawings that use value in a small area, like a face or arm, to draw the eye while still providing background information through contour lines. Students will be asked to draw a still life using contour lines for composition and details, and then select a small area to add value and emphasis through shading rather than just contours.
