I need your input!

For the lessons, should I go into detail on each individual subject (value, color and light) or give a brief explanation and then focus on the relationships between all of them?

Originally I was going to do the first one; focus on values and then transition into how values relate to color, but the more I think about it, the second option just makes a lot more sense. If I'm going to talk about gray as a value, why not talk about how a primary and a secondary color (for example, blue and orange) make gray when mixed. It is also very difficult to talk about values without talking about light. For me and how I learned, the darker value is always the shadow, not just black.

I want to give you useful information like my favorite, 'saturated colors where light meets shadow' and not something more complicated like, 'values' then 'saturated color' and then 'light and shadow'. Accurate values are what makes things look realistic, and you can't have realistic color without accurate values, but neither of them is visible without light. You see what I mean? It is difficult for any of them to exist on their own.

So I need a second (or third, or fourth) opinion on this! Which would you prefer?
