Master Painting Value Study, due Mon. 3/4

Make a photocopy or printout of a master painting in black and white. Using this photocopy, break down the shapes of value and light in the painting and make a collage out of black, white, and grey papers. The paper values can easily be made using various materials, printed out from a computer, or purchased. Then, working solely from the collage you have made, make another drawing using charcoal and ink. If desired, you can mask off a border with your masking tape.
