What is value?________________

Question

In art and other disciplines.

Answer 1

In Art, "value" usually refers to how light or dark an application of pigment appears in the composition on the chosen support. It is one of the elements of art that is used to create the illusion of 3-dimensionality on a 2-dimensional surface. You also asked about "other disciplines." If you could give me a specific example I would be glad to try to explain more fully.

Answer 2

Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a surface. By units of value, depth can be shown on a flat piece of paper. By using value a three dimensional quality can be shown in an artwork. Value is the basis for understanding texture.

Answer 3

Value refers to the amount of light hitting an object. Lighter values means the light source is stronger in that area. Darker values refer to areas in shade.
