Indicate a position in a space?
- A.
Line
- B.
Plane
- C.
Volume
- D.
Point
Correct Answer
D. PointExplanation
A point is the most basic element in geometry that indicates a specific position in space. Unlike a line, plane, or volume, a point has no dimensions and does not extend in any direction. It is simply a location represented by a single coordinate. Therefore, when asked to indicate a position in space, the correct answer would be a point.Rate this question:

Defines the limit of a boundaries or volume in a creative composition?
- A.
Line
- B.
Plane
- C.
Volume
- D.
Point
Correct Answer
B. PlaneExplanation
In a creative composition, a plane defines the limit of boundaries or volume. A plane is a two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. It provides a flat surface for objects and elements to be placed upon or within, creating a defined space or boundary. Unlike a line, which is one-dimensional, a plane has width and height, allowing for a more comprehensive definition of boundaries or volume in a composition. A point, on the other hand, is a zero-dimensional object and does not have the capacity to define boundaries or volume.Rate this question:

It is the primary identifying characteristic of a volume? Established by the shapes and interrelationships of the planes that describes the boundaries of the volume?
- A.
Texture
- B.
Form
- C.
Surface
- D.
Mass
Correct Answer
B. FormExplanation
Form refers to the overall shape and structure of an object or volume. It is the primary identifying characteristic of a volume because it is determined by the shapes and interrelationships of the planes that describe the boundaries of the volume. Texture refers to the surface quality of an object, surface refers to the outermost layer of an object, and mass refers to the physical weight or density of an object. None of these characteristics specifically relate to the primary identifying characteristic of a volume.Rate this question:

By Le Corbusier comments on "forms", which of the composition that he mention is "very difficult" to satisfy the spirit?
- A.
Commutative composition
- B.
Cubic composition
- C.
Combination
- D.
Subtractive composition
Correct Answer
B. Cubic compositionExplanation
Le Corbusier mentions that the "cubic composition" is "very difficult" to satisfy the spirit. This implies that creating a composition using cubic forms is a challenging task that requires careful consideration and understanding of the overall design intent. The complexity of working with cubic forms may be attributed to their geometric properties, which can be more rigid and less flexible compared to other forms. Thus, achieving a harmonious and satisfying composition with cubic forms requires a high level of skill and artistic sensibility.Rate this question:
