The title of this piece showing the element of value is "Avocados". The artist is Debi Starr and was painted with graphite on paper and posted on 7/28/12. It was painted to demonstrate value as seen by the darkness of the avocados. Value becomes important in a piece of work which has no colors other than black, white or gray.
The element of value is being used here showing only black, white and slight gray colors. Value will be lost if using colors. Think of value as a black and white photograph. When only black, white and gray are used, it makes you focus more on the item itself and not the stuff that is secondary like colors. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color.
