Tone:TONE is light and dark. Light shows the world

to us, and shadow gives meaning to the things we see. TONE can give solidity, volume and weight to an image TONE gives the impression of distance.

Darker tones come forward and lighter tones go back into the image. TONE can give emotion to an image. Highly contrasting tones give life and

energy, softer tones give a gentle mood. TONE can create rhythm, with the eyes jumping from

blue is dark. TONE in sculpture is the way it catches the light, so that sharp changes are made by deep corners, and

gentle ones by smooth gradual changes.

Today in art we are going to focus on TONE and TEXTURE. The key to success in this task is to follow the instructions like paint to numbers.

1. Let’s read through Tone and Texture. While I am reading draw what you hear are important qualities of tone and texture in the boxes below.

2. Get an A3 pages – fold it into 8 blocks. Now write TONE in the center. In each block we are going to do rubbings to fill each block. In the word tone you are going to make it darker at the top and lighter at the bottom using your rubbings.

3. Shall we discuss what we have learnt?
