ART Appreciation Midterm

this type of perspective is used when an object is being viewed from an angle rather than from directly in front

2 pt perspective

These 4 visual elements of art- form, volume, mass, texture, are present in --- works of art

3D

hatching and cross hatching use 2D lines to communicate ---- depth

3D

School of Athens, guys in middle

Raphael, Plato Aristotle

in a 2D work, when the figure becomes the background and the background becomes the figure, we perceive

a figure ground reversal

physioists have explained that when we see a color it is the portion of the light spectrum that a surface fails to

absorb

a line that is a continuous mark

actual line

an artist can use color to indicate depth. when a color is very pure, intense then it seems to be

closer

the process of using a series of parallel lines set close to another to differentiate planes of value in a work of art is called

hatching

artists can create a sense of ---- by using light and dark values

depth

Because it is 3D a form has 3 spatial measurements

depth, height, width

by orienting lines so that they attract attention to a specific area of a work the artist is using

directional lines

an artwork that has many hues but only one value is called monochromatic T or F

false

Venus of Villendorf

fertility goddess

a 2D object is called a shape, a 3D object is called a

form

if an artist were to depict 5 people each running toward a different tree, from different starting pts, of view. we call

four shortening

hue

general classification of a color; the distinctive characteristics of a color as seen in the visible light spectrum

Forms such as a pyramid which tend to be precise are known as --- forms

geometric

a shape made of perfectly straight lines would be classified as

geometric shape

3 kinds of unity

gestalt, conceptual, compositional

the principles of design are a kind of ---- that artists apply to the elements of art

grammar

--- volume is a space that is enclosed by materials that are not entirely solid

open

the type of shape that is composed of unpredictable, irregular lines is called

organic

this type of art can only exist in one place and time in history

performance art

this art movement of the 1960s relies on perceptual anomalies of the human eye to create dynamic objects

pop art

a shape on a flat picture surface that is defined by surrounding empty space is known as a

positive

this subject can be used to separate white light into the colors of the spectrum

prism

if you were to look at a t-shirt that absorbed: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, what color would be appear?

red

when using a series of squares that are exactly the same shape, implied depth can be achieved by

relative size, overlapping, alternating value, and relative position

A 3D surface that is designed to be viewed from one direction is known as a

relief

we generally associate a color with its purest, most intense state or its highest level of

saturation

a color that is lighter than its basic hue is known as a tint. a color that is darker than its basic hue is called a

shade

an upright stone that has an incised relief on its surface is known as a

stela

by using ---- texture to contradict tactile experience, artists can invite viewers to reconsider the world around them

subversive

a contour line defines the the outer edge or profile of an object and can be used to suggest a volume in space T or F

true

what element describes the imposition of order and harmony on a design

unity

nonobjective art is

unrecognizable

the lightness or darkness of a surface is the element of art called

value

a series of different values that are grouped together is called

value range

one point perspective does convey depth, but it has limited applications due to its reliance on a single

vanishing point

compositional unity strikes as interesting because monotony of too much similarity and chaos of too much ---- in a work of art

variety

the elements of art form the basic --- of art

vocabulary

the element of art that defines the amount of space occupied by an object is

volume

subtractive color theory

when subtracted colors are mixed they make a darker and duller color because more of the visible spectrum is absorbed

the elements of time and motion are not applicable to the art of photography T or F

False

Birth of Venus

Botticelli

La Primavera

Botticelli

----- balance is achieved when 2 halves if a composition are nor mirror images of each other

asymetrical

the line that defines the edge of a shape

boundary

the chiaroscuro method uses 5 defined values: cast, shadow, reflected light, core shadows and light and ----

higlight

a line that givers viewers the impression that there are seeing a line where there is not a continuos mark

implied line

variety can ---- a design

invigorate

this type of sculpture can move and change its visual form

kinetic

one definition of this element is "a mark that connects two points"

line

a color that is almost gray has a --- saturation

low

this spinning toy gives as sense of motion to a viewer when he or she looks at through the small slits in its cylindrical drum at a strip of changing pictures

zoetrope
