chapter 1.3-1.4

The American artist Mark Tansey used ________ color palette when he painted his homage to Cubism titled Picasso and Braque.

a monochromatic

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

absorb.

An artist can use color to indicate depth. When a color is very pure and intense, it then seems to be:

closer

What is the most vivid element of art and design?

color

What is the process that uses a series of parallel lines set close to one another to differentiate planes of value in a work of art?

hatching

To create value in his drawing Head of a Satyr, Michelangelo used both hatching and ________, a variation where the lines overlap, allowing for the depiction of darker tones.

cross-hatching

An artist paints a scene with a large mountain, which lacks detail and is out of focus, and a tree, which is sharply defined and bright green. The viewer might assume that the mountain is ________ than the tree.

further away

This object can be used to separate white light into the colors of the spectrum.

prism

What are the traditional "artist's" primary colors?

red, yellow, and blue

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

shade

When a color is associated with hot or cold, we refer to this as color:

temperature.

Hatching and cross-hatching use two-dimensional lines to communicate ________ depth.

three-dimensional

The element of art that describes the relative lightness or darkness of a hue, compared to another hue, is known as:

value

A series of different values grouped together is referred to as a:

value range.

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

value.

T/F An artwork that uses many hues but only one value is called monochromatic.

False

T/F If you are looking straight ahead, an object that is behind you is in your cone of vision.

False

Henri Matisse was a member of the ________ movement, a group of artists who were especially focused on using color as intensely as they could.

Fauve

This method of applying value to a two-dimensional artwork to create the illusion of a three-dimensional solid form is called:

chiaroscuro.

This painting, titled the Old Guitarist, relies on values of blue, brown, and gray. What was the name of the artist who completed this work during their "Blue Period"?

Picasso

This artist formulated rules for creating depth, using the principle of linear perspective. To prove the rules, he used a painting with a small hole, a mirror, and the Florence Baptistery. The viewer would look through the back of the painting of the Florence Baptistery while the mirror reflected it; then when the mirror was removed, the viewer could see the actual building. Who was this artist and innovator?

Brunelleschi

Colors that do not contrast strongly with each other, and that are similar in wavelength, are referred to as ________ colors.

analogous

When objects are far away, they lack contrast, detail, and sharpness of focus because of the interference of air. In what process do artists take advantage of this?

atmospheric perspective

What term refers to each of the basic colors of the spectrum?

hue

This is the system that creates an illusion of depth using three basic components: horizon line, vanishing point, and convergence lines.

linear perspective
