This is a black and white pastel drawing of a pair of peppers sitting on a blank surface. It was made to demonstrate that edges can be produced without only using lines, but using value instead. I tried to make contrast in the values of the background and peppers to really bring them out, as well as emphasizing the form of the peppers. I think the overall picture gives the essence of differentiation.

This is a line drawing based on a toucan at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. It was made to demonstrate value in the darkness of lines, making space and overlap in where things are positioned, which helped emphasize the toucan and the branch it is perched on. I tried to put as much texture into the drawing as I could while still allowing it to look good, and not over-detailed. I also tried to use scoring to try to give the branches form to varying success. I also decided not to draw the chain fence, as its an unnecessary part for displaying the toucan in the drawing. This piece gives the feeling of curiosity, as the toucan is looking up somewhere else, and its environment hints that there's more to the enclosure as a small part of something bigger.
This is the finished pencil drawing based on the picture of sword ferns above. This piece was made to show how art elements can be used to create space. In this drawing, the larger foreground plants have darker lines and overlap with the background ones. The further back the ferns are, the looser and lighter lines they have, giving overall less detail to them to show that they are further away. This makes a clear clear contrast that shows some appear in front of the other ferns and appear more emphasized in the picture. Viewing this, it has a feeling of unorganized pattern, where the fern blades come out of all sorts of places and twisting around in all sorts of ways, but they are all each from a specific branch on specific layers.
This is a line art drawing that uses the value of the lines by making them darker the closer into the spiral they are. The overall pattern that is displayed is an example of overlap, as the pattern is made up of many shapes, but flows through each of them smoothly. The size of each shape gets smaller and rotated to form spirals inside each shape, making the overall pattern possible. To describe the piece, it consists of a spiral pentagon surrounded by a spiral square on each side with spiral triangles connecting each square. There are two triangle spiral shapes on the right side of the drawing and a trapezoid spiral on the left that connects it to three spiral rectangles, which end in one spiral triangle on each side. Depending on how this drawing is viewed, it can be interpreted in different ways, for instance from the landscape angle, it could look like the head of a bird, with the right triangle as a beak, the left area as a neck and wings, and the center of the head, an eye. On the other hand, the portrait angle of this drawing could be seen as a tower with a large base and a large round room with windows, and a roof. This piece was made mostly with repetition in the spiral design and shapes that make it up, but they blend together in some areas to make curved lines where they are all made of straight lined shapes.
