Chapter 10-13

Studies have shown that the average person can see about how many variations in value

40 variations in value

Another name for aerial perspective is

Atmospheric perspective

Variations exist in imagery that evoke a feeling. Even in artworks of quiet stillness we expect or anticipate

Change

During the Renaissance the word __________ was coined to describe the artistic device of using light and dark to imply depth and volume in a painting or drawing

Chiaroscuro

Another dramatic way to present the illusion of motion in art is to do what to the figure

Crop

one-point perspective helps show us

Depth

Over the centuries artists have devised various conventions to present an illusion of motion in art. One of the oldest devices is use of the single figure.

False

Overlapping sketchy and incomplete lines in drawing would not serve us well if we wished to depict motion

False

Staccato means using light and dark to imply depth and volume

False

When we see one figure in an overlapping sequence of poses, the slight change in each successive position suggests movement taking place. The name for this is?

Multiple images

What is the art form that has made visible images that are otherwise invisible to us due to a too rapid motion for the eye to perceive

Photography

Tapering and undulating lines, intense colors or grid intersections might cause

eye movement and afterimage

Linear perspective is a complex spatial system based on the idea that as parallel lines recede, they appear to converge and to meet on an imaginary line called the

horizon or eye level

A "storyboard" type of image can convey a narrative that happens over time

True

A gray scale comprised only of black and white with no color is called an

achromatic scale

Colorblind individuals cannot see the value contrast of color

False

Dark and light contrast is not used to create a focal point or center of attention in a design

False

Objects higher on an artboard usually appear to be closer than lower elements

False

The artist has the choice of showing us a complete scene or a partial glimpse of a portion of the scene that continues beyond the format. This is called blank canvas and formulated canvas

False

The term "value contrast" refers to the relationship between areas of dark and even darker

False

What is used extensively in Oriental art and engineering and mechanical drawings. Here the lines do not recede to a vanishing point but remain parallel

Isometric projection

We tend to re-create unconsciously in our own bodies the actions we observe. This process is called:

Kinesthetic empathy

With the advent of rapid forms of transportation and communication in the last century, a significant number of artworks began to reflect an interest in speed or motion. As early as the 1920's this was seen in the work of

The Italian Futurists

Objects that are three dimensional invite us into their space to walk around, but 2 dimensional art is enclosed within

The picture plane

A feeling of anticipated movement can be created by implied lines and gestures

True

Aerial perspective means that the value contrast between objects gradually lessens, and contours become less distinct

True

Every color has a corresponding value to match

True

In describing designs we speak often of value pattern. This term refers to the arrangement and the amount of variation in light and dark

True

In multipoint perspective we find that different objects will have separate sets of vanishing points

True

It is possible that a sense of stillness can permeate an image

True

The artistic choice is often not what color is used, but how dark (or light) the color is

True

The introduction of linear perspective as a spatial device occurred during the Renaissance

True

Three common types of drawings used to describe a space are plan, elevation and perspective

True

We might readily interpret motion in a painting or photograph because we observe blurred outlines

True

When overlapping is combined with size differences the spatial sensation is greatly increased

True

No objects are parallel to the picture plan, and all edges recede to two points on the horizon line, is the definition of ?

Two point perspective

A spatial device in which elevation on the page or format indicates a recession into depth is called

Vertical location

Changing a value in a design can alter dramatically how it is perceived

True

Cross -hatching, wash drawing, and dot half -tones are all techniques that help the artist use value of shading

True

Far off images visually become grayer and less distinct as the distance increases. In art, this is called _____ perspective:

aerial

Many curved lines, called lines of force, are added to show the pathway of movement. This is a device we commonly see, and understand, in today's

comics

In one-point perspective, a single point is placed on a horizon line and all the lines of objects at right angles to the place of the picture

converge towards that one point

Two of the most popular media that are concerned with movement and change are

film and video

Value is the artistic term for

light and dark

Looking at a figure or object from more than one vantage point simultaneously is called

multiple perspective

To suggest great height, such as looking up or down a city skyscraper, we would use?

multipoint perspective

Overlapping helps to create a sense of depth because

one shape is on top of another

Amplified perspective reproduces the visual image but in a very special view that occurs when an item is

pointed directly at the viewer

The easiest way to create an illusion of space or distance is through

size changes

Showing exaggerated size means

something is in the composition is larger than other like things

One of the most important uses of graduations of dark and light is to

suggest volume or space

High dark and light contrast instantly attracts our attention because of:

value emphasis
