1 Value Value-It is the lightness or darkness of an object, regardless of color. Value is relative to the background color and other items on the page. Value is created by a light source that shines on an object creating highlights and shadows. Value creates depth within a picture making an object look three dimensional with highlights and cast shadows, or in a landscape where it gets lighter in value as it recedes to the background giving the illusion of depth.

2 Value Contrast is where light values are placed next to dark values to create contrast or strong differences. Value Scale is a scale that shows the gradual change in value from its lightest value, white to its darkest value black.

5

6 Use value to Increase/Decrease Contrast The greater the difference in value between an object and its background, the greater the contrast

7

8 Categories of Values Tint is adding white to color paint to create lighter values such as light blue or pink.

9

10 Shade is adding black to paint to create dark values such as dark blue or dark red.

11 High-Key is where the picture is all light values. Low-Key is where the picture is all dark values.

21

23 Hue- or its name (red, green, blue, etc) Value-how light or dark Intensity-(saturation) how bright or dull

24

25 Categories of Color Primary Colors-Red, Yellow, Blue these color cannot be mixed, they must be bought in some form.

26 Primary Colors-Raw colors in which all other hues are ma Yellow Blue Red

27

28

29 Secondary Color-Orange, Violet, Green, these colors are created by mixing two primaries.

30 Secondary Colors Orange Green Violet

31

32

33

34 Intermediate Colors- Red Orange, Yellow Green, Blue Violet, etc.; mixing a primary with a secondary creates these colors.

35 Complementary A complementary relationship is a harmony of two colors on the opposite side of the color wheel. When complementary colors are placed side-by-side they tend to enhance the intensity (chroma) of each other, and when they are blended together they tend to decrease the intensity of each other.

36

37

38 Cyan-Orange

39

40 Monochromatic is where one color is used but in different values and intensity.

41

42 chanel machinist

43 Analogous Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel for example red, red orange, and orange are analogous colors. An analogous relationship is a harmony of colors whose hues are adjacent to one another on the color wheel. Analogous colors tend to be families of colors such as blues (blue, blueviolet, blue-green) and yellows (yellow, yellow-orange, yellowgreen).

44

45

46

47 Triadic Harmony is where three equally spaced colors on the color wheel are used for example, yellow, Red, Blue is a triadic harmony color scheme.

48

49

50 Warm color colors are on one side of the color wheel and they give the felling of warmth for example red, orange and yellow are the color of fire and feel warm.

51

52

53 Warm colors Yellow-Orange-Red

54

55

56 Cool color are on the other side of the color wheel and they give the feeling of coolness for example blue, violet, are the color of water, and green are the color of cool grass.

63 Positive & Negative

64 The positive space is the space occupied by your subject. The negative space is the space that is not your subject.

66 Become more aware of the effect of the background of your photograph

67

68

69 Picture of a stool The positive space is masked in black The negative space is masked in black. See how the negative space exists as objects that define the stool. The negative space is defined by the edges of the positive space and the frame or border So, part of our negative space is bounded by the frame and another part is bounded by the positive space. Sometimes the negative space is completely bounded by the positive space. What is important also to note is that the negative space also defines our subject. Confused, look at the illustrations of the stool.

76 Composition, the skilled use of the positive and negative spaces interacting with the edges of your work, has measurable effects on a viewer's eye.
