Value Emphasis- Creates a focal point within a composition by creating high contrast with light and dark.

There is a noticable high contrast in the girl's face and chest being illuminated by candle light and the other elements in the compostion. Value was used to create the focal point(girls chest and face).

Value in Aerial Perspective- In aerial perspective, value helps create the space between objects by giving closer objects high value and lessing the value the farther the objects go.

The farther the cherries are the less value there is. If all the cherries had as much value as the first closest cherry, there wouldn't be a sense of space.

Cross hatching- builds value by layering series of lines over each other to suggest form or value.

This still life has various values made by the thickness and closeness of the lines, the spaces that have no lines at all easily show the highlights where light is being most reflected. The shadows have dark thick lines very close together.
