Value Scale (Simple 5-step) — free printable clipart

About this illustration

This image presents a clear visual representation of a grayscale value scale, depicted by five squares arranged horizontally. The squares transition from pure white on the far left, through progressively darker shades of grey, culminating in solid black on the far right. An arrow positioned beneath the squares clearly indicates the continuum from "Light" to "Dark," labeled at its respective ends. This resource is excellent for introducing fundamental art concepts such as value, tone, and the spectrum of light and dark in primary and early secondary visual arts education. It can be used as a reference on slides, a labeling exercise on a worksheet, or as a template for students to understand and recreate value scales.
