Artists use tone to show where an object is light and dark.
Artists can build layers of tone, rather than use pressure, to create dark tones.
Artists can create light tones by taking away, rather than adding, materials.

Tone is always achieved through pressure.

Remind children that tone can be achieved through adding pressure, but layers of material can also be built up or removed to vary tone.

Light - a tone that is closer to white
Dark - a tone that is closer to black
Reduction - when an artist takes away a material rather than builds up layers of materials
