This document discusses how to draw a sphere using value by capturing the reflected light on the bottom edge from the ground, which usually occurs in the same area as the cast shadow. It emphasizes that capturing this reflection is key to drawing a successful sphere, as shown in a photograph of an egg where the reflected light can be seen on the rounded form along with the shadow showing a variety of values from darkest under the egg to lighter as it moves farther away.

This document discusses different types of mirrors and how they form images. It describes plane mirrors, which produce images of the same size as the object, and curved mirrors, including concave mirrors that can produce real or virtual images depending on the object's position, and convex mirrors that only produce smaller virtual images. Ray diagrams are introduced as a way to determine the characteristics of images formed by mirrors and lenses. Specific examples of image formation using ray diagrams are provided for concave and convex mirrors.Class 11 lighting

The document discusses principles of lighting, including direction of light and its effects. It describes how front, side, back, top, and bottom lighting can influence the appearance of subjects by altering shadows, textures, and forms. Certain lighting directions like side lighting are generally attractive by revealing details, while others such as bottom lighting can create strange and unfamiliar looks by reversing typical light and shadow patterns.

Shadows play an important role in photography beyond just being the absence of light. Photographers should pay as much attention to shadows as they do to light. Shadows can be used to create contrast and drama, focus attention, direct the viewer's gaze, reveal form and texture. Specific techniques for using shadows include using them to create tonal contrast like in a dramatic sunset, hiding detail in shadows to draw the eye, and having shadows point to or surround the center of interest. Camera settings like a low ISO and shutter speed can help achieve defined shadows.10 Compositional Theories of Cinematography

Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, and Depth of Field are three compositional theories discussed in the document. The Rule of Thirds suggests placing subjects along an imaginary three-by-three grid to create a balanced composition. Leading Lines are used to guide the viewer's eyes through the frame. Depth of Field controls the distance within a shot that is in focus versus blurred to direct attention.Perspective drawing 1 point a

The document discusses one-point perspective in Renaissance art. During this time period, artists became interested in creating the illusion of three-dimensional depth in two-dimensional paintings. They used mathematics and observation to develop the technique of linear perspective, which uses vanishing points and orthogonal lines to trick the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface. One-point perspective involves drawing all lines to converge at a single vanishing point located on the horizon line, creating the illusion of objects receding into the distance.15 tips for taking smartphone photos for social media

Light travels in a straight line and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it hits different materials and surfaces. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface like a mirror, following the laws of reflection. Refraction is when light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, like from air to water. Lenses and curved mirrors can form real or virtual images by refracting or reflecting light rays. Prisms disperse white light into a spectrum due to refraction, demonstrating that light is made of different colors.B&W portraiture key skills and techniques

Hatching uses lines of varying closeness to create shading and value. Closer lines produce darker tones, while lines farther apart appear lighter. Hatching has been used effectively in the image to shade the building and provide dark shadows on the coat with thick, heavy lines and lighter tones on the collar, face, and hands with thinner lines spaced farther apart. Cross hatching overlays hatched lines at an angle so the lines cross, resulting in shading. The drawing uses various hatching techniques like long or short lines, evenly spaced versus random lines, to achieve different effects.

Drawing the subject multiple times, erasing, and redrawing on top adds motion. Artists like William Kentridge use expressive marks that are smudged and moved to create animation in still images.

Not only does the value on the surface bend with the circular shape, it also has a light reflected tone on the bottom edge. This is light reflecting from the ground back onto the form, it usually occurs in the same area where you will draw a cast shadow. Capturing this reflection is key to drawing a successful sphere.
