ARTimus Prime: Value

For this project, you will be creating a complex arrangement of pipes to show depth and value in an artwork. You will be using shading, value, and contour lines to help create the feeling of depth in your artwork.

DIRECTIONS:

Take a look at the worksheet above before you begin.

In your sketchbook, practice creating 4 pipe shapes with shading and contour lines added. You may use the same 4 pieces that are at the bottom of the worksheet.

After you have practiced 4 shapes and are comfortable making the pipe shapes, you may get a 12x18 piece of paper to begin your final artwork.

Your final artwork should be a complex network of pipes. There should be at least 3 layers of depth in your pipework and it should fill the page. You may add extra details, like knobs, regulator valves, leaks, and any other pipe related details you can think of. Your pipes need to be in color and have full value work to show depth.

This is a project dealing with two elements, color and value. We will discuss both of these as we work through creating your abstract pieces, both traditionally and digitally.
