Editor's Notes
- Value: Light and Dark…relative to a given context
- Achromatic Gray…made with black and white
- Value Contrast: Refers to the relationship between areas of dark and light. -Low-Value Contrast: The contrast between two adjoining areas is slight -Scientists have found that the human eye can perceive up to 40 variations in value
- Value Pattern: The arrangement and the amount of variation in light and dark, independent of the colors used.When value contrast is minimized and all the values are within a limited range with only small variation… HIGH KEY=Composition dominated by lights LOW KEY=Composition dominated by darksHere LOW KEY…dominated by darks, dramatic, theatrical. Works with subject matter…typical of Baroque artists
- HIGH KEY COMPOSITION…few contrasting dark areas
- LOW KEY COMPOSITION…meditative, very calm
- Value Used to suggest volume or spaceChiaroscuro: During the Renaissance, this term was coined to describe the artistic device of using light and dark to imply depth and volume in a painting or drawing. -Combination of the two Italian words “chiaro”, meaning light, and “scuro”, the word for dark. -Characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition
- Film Noir…uses subtle light to create dramatic emphasis
