Art Breaks: Value
For this 5-minute Art Break, we’ll be exploring the element of art, value, by looking at this cyanotype by Meridith Pingree. Value is how light or dark a color is. Value is directly connected to light. We see things because light reflects off of objects, defining them for our eyes.
Meridith Pingree, American, 6-22-01 [12:59], 2001, cyanotype. Gift of the artist (2001 recipient of the Ethel Armstrong Rolapp Award for Excellence in the Fine Arts. The Department of Art, University of Utah) to the Ethel Armstrong Rolapp Award Collection, from the Permanent Collection at the Utah Museum of Fine Art. UMFA2002.15.2

While watching please note that there are many ways to focus on a work of art – for this video, we’re using only one particular lens. This lens provides a way to engage with and appreciate the artwork, but may or may not be part of the original intention of the work.
We appreciate that each person brings their experience as a person to their understanding of art and we encourage respectful dialogue and appreciate a diversity of voices and perspectives.
