Shading Geometric Forms

Today’s essential question: How can I shade a geometric form to create the illusion of space?

We will begin this project by practicing shading on a value scale and shading three geometric forms. 

Helpful Hints:

Keep in mind where your light source is. 

When shading a rounded object follow the curve. It will help to create a full and rounded appearance.

Use the side of the pencil lead rather than the point to create a smoother transition.

This practice sheet will count as a homework grade. If you do not finish it in class please bring it home to complete it.
