TAKE NOTES:
Vocabulary-
LINE-
A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin.
SHAPE-
A shape is when a line becomes closed, where the line forms the boundary and the space within is the shape. A shape is a two-dimensional space.
Ex: Square, circle, triangle....
ORGANIC SHAPE-
Organic shapes are figures that do not conform to specific mathematical or geometrical principles and appear natural. They have freeform and inspire feelings of calmness and naturalness.
Ex: Blob, cloud, ameba, splat.
VALUE-
Value is the lightness or darkness of a color or hue, and it's a core element that adds dimension to a piece. Artists can create value in different ways, depending on the medium they're using.
VALUE SCALE-
A value scale is organized values to show the lightness or darkness in order from white (LL) to Dark (dd). It usually consists of nine values, ranging from white to black, with shades of gray in between. The scale is often visualized as a gradient, with white at the top and black at the bottom.
Smooth, Even, and Contrasting ends.

Line to Shape Creative Lettering
----Practice----
Create Name out of Creative Shape Letters -
Start with light LINE letters that FILL UP THE SPACE (50 to 75% of paper)
Add pencil and blending stump around organic shape...
(see video)
Use value with 2 colors on the letters
Add Value with 2 colors in Outer Organic Shape
Challenge- add in a 3rd color to background shape to blend with other 2.
I have taught this before in Middle School.
