The more tonal variants in an image, the lower the contrast. Values are best understood when visualized as a scale or gradient, from dark to light.

How does value create emphasis and the illusion of light?Artists are able to create the illusion of light using different color and tonal values. Welcome to the final piece in our Seven Elements of Art series, in which Kristin Farr pairs videos from KQED Art School with current New York Times pieces on the visual arts to help students make connections between formal art instruction and our daily visual culture.The other pieces in the series?

In a Lens piece, “ Jamel Shabazz’s 40 Years of Sights and Styles in New York,” Maurice Berger writes:Mr. Photographers often capture high-contrast colors to emphasize parts of an image, and low contrast colors to add dimension, foreground and background.The photographer Jamel Shabazz is known for his photographs of diverse communities that serve as social commentary to broaden perspectives.

Which parts of the image are low contrast, and which are high contrast? What stands out? What’s the first thing you see? What’s the next thing you notice? Is your eye drawn to the high contrast or low contrast areas first?In highlighting his community, Jamel Shabazz plays with value and contrast to make them stand out, emphasizing fashion and community aesthetics as a way to honor and document his New York neighbors. Subjects stand out when contrasting with their environment, drawing the eye to the person captured in the image.In “Style,” Lower East Side, Manhattan, 2002,” the black-and-white image that begins the slide show above, there are many tonal values (shades from the gray scale).

In his Times review of the exhibition “ Julian Stanczak Master of Op Art: Highlights of the Past 40 years,” Kenneth Johnson writes:Mr.
An image of a painting with colors of highly contrasting values. Which kinds of value variants create the strongest texture?Now that you’ve explored how value is used to emphasize subjects in art and creates the illusion of dark and light, and gained an understanding of the value of colors and how they affect each other, browse through features in The New York Times’s Art & Design section Lens, the Times site for photojournalism or anywhere else on NYTimes.com, and challenge yourself to a scavenger hunt.See if you can find photographs or images of artwork with the following characteristics: Which paintings have the most subtle adjustments between shades?
