Value is used not only for shadow but also for what?

Correct answer: To create depth and a focal point

Correct answer: C, creating depth and a focal point. Value describes the lightness or darkness of a colour or tone. Artists use differences in value not only to show cast shadows or the dark side of an object, but also to suggest distance, separate overlapping forms, and make a flat surface appear three-dimensional. Strong value contrast can attract the eye to a chosen area, helping establish a focal point. A and B are physical actions or purchases and have no connection with the meaning of value in art. D is wrong because value does not erase or rename a colour. To remember the idea, think of value as a scale from light to dark; changing positions on that scale can describe form, space, emphasis, and mood.
