“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”

“Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Art 1: Shading Vocabulary Notes

Here's your Notes for the Shading unit we are working on if you missed them! Value – the lightness or darkness of a color. Form – the element of art that is represented by three dimensions. Shading – a drawing technique that uses light and dark values to give the illusion of form. Value Scale – a chart used by artists to show a full range of values. Highlights – Show the surfaces of a subject that reflect the most light; the lightest part of the drawing. They are used to create the illusion of form. Shadows - Show the surfaces of a subject that reflect the least light; the darkest part of the drawing. They are used to create the illusion of form. They can include the shadow an object casts on a surface.
