Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (Minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Introduce the concept of value in art. Show examples of artworks that demonstrate various values. Engage students in a discussion about what value means in art.
2	Demonstration	10	Demonstrate techniques for creating value through shading and highlighting. Use a simple shape (e.g., sphere) to illustrate how light affects value and depth in drawing.
3	Guided Practice	10	Allow students to practice the demonstrated techniques on their own. Provide them with a basic shape to draw, encouraging them to apply value through shading. Walk around to offer assistance as needed.
4	Independent Work	5	Ask students to create a small artwork using the value techniques learned. They can choose any subject matter but should focus on incorporating value in their work.
5	Conclusion & Homework	5	Wrap up the lesson by discussing what they learned about value. Explain the homework: Students will finalize their artwork at home and submit it for feedback. Remind them that they will not need to present it in front of the class.

Homework

• Complete their artwork using value techniques and submit for feedback in the next lesson. Students should reflect on how they used value to enhance their piece and be prepared to share their insights in written form.
