Overview of Project
I will be teaching the students how to add value and shadow to a face by using different shading techniques. The shading techniques that I will be addressed are; contour line, hatching, using the side of graphite/ charcoal. I will also teach them how to quickly lay in lights and darks.
Essential Question(s)
How does value affect the perception of light, space and form?
How does value affect mood or intention in a drawing?
Prior Knowledge
The students should have the basic knowledge of value and shading. They should have an understanding of the proportions of a face and have a light contour drawing of a face.

4) Give a demo
- Laying in light and dark values
- Using contour lines
