    Value is an element that shows the lightness and darkness of an object. When you use  lighter and darker values (grays) to make a drawing   more three-dimensional you could use ___________________. 

    • Blending

    • Smearing

    • Mixing

    • Shading

    Correct Answer
    A. Shading
    Explanation
    When you use lighter and darker values (grays) to make a drawing more three-dimensional, you could use shading. Shading involves adding darker tones to areas that are meant to appear in shadow and lighter tones to areas that are meant to appear in light. This technique helps to create the illusion of depth and form in a drawing.

    The technique done on this sphere helps to give the illusion that is 3 dimensional. An artist can use ____________ to do this using a variety of different media.  

    • Optical illusion

    • Pointalism

    • Shading

    • Value chart

    Correct Answer
    A. Shading
    Explanation
    Shading is a technique used by artists to create the illusion of three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface. By adding varying degrees of light and dark values to an object, the artist can make it appear more realistic and lifelike. Shading helps to define the form and volume of an object, giving it depth and dimension. It is commonly used in drawing, painting, and other visual arts to create a sense of realism and depth in the artwork.

    • Abstract lines

    • Outlines

    • Descriptive

    Correct Answer
    A. Abstract lines
    Explanation
    The image is described as showing "abstract lines". This suggests that the lines in the image are not meant to represent anything specific or realistic, but rather are used in a more artistic or conceptual way. The term "abstract" implies that the lines may be non-representational or have a more symbolic or expressive purpose.

    • Descriptive

    • Abstract

    • Expressive

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Descriptive
    Explanation
    Descriptive lines are used by artists to make an object appear realistic or recognizable. These lines provide specific details and characteristics to the object, helping the viewer to understand its form, shape, and texture. Unlike abstract or expressive lines, which may prioritize emotion or interpretation over realism, descriptive lines aim to accurately depict the subject matter.

    This drawing of a sphere with cones projecting outward illustrates  

    • Closure lines

    • Descriptive lines

    • Abstract lines

    • Direct lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Closure lines
    Explanation
    The drawing of a sphere with cones projecting outward is illustrating closure lines. Closure lines are used in technical and engineering drawings to show the boundaries and connections between different parts of a structure or object. In this case, the closure lines are showing how the cones are attached to the sphere, creating a visual representation of their relationship and connection.

    • Lines of sight

    • Contour lines

    • Blind contour

    • Closure

    • Abstract lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Contour lines
    Explanation
    The image represents contour lines. Contour lines are lines that connect points of equal elevation on a map or a topographic surface. They help visualize the shape and relief of the land, indicating the steepness of slopes and the presence of valleys, hills, or mountains. The lines form closed loops, creating a pattern that represents the landscape's features.

    Check all characteristics  that apply for --- contour line

    • Varies in lightness and darkness

    • Stays the same value

    • Varies in thickness and thinness

    • No change in the thickness or thinness-stays the same

    • Shows depth

    • Shows little to no depth

    • Shows outer edges

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Varies in lightness and darkness
    A. Varies in thickness and thinness
    A. Shows depth
    A. Shows inner edges and outer edges
    Explanation
    A contour line is a line that represents a specific elevation on a topographic map. It varies in lightness and darkness to indicate changes in elevation. It also varies in thickness and thinness to represent different elevations. Contour lines show depth by connecting points of equal elevation, allowing us to visualize the shape of the land. Additionally, contour lines show both inner edges and outer edges, providing information about both the shape of the landforms and their boundaries.

  • 16. 

    Check the three types of implied lines we learned using line (in chapter 4).

    • Descriptive

    • Edges

    • Lines of sight

    • Contour

    • Abstract

    • Closure

    • Manufactured

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Edges
    A. Lines of sight
    A. Closure
    Explanation
    The correct answer includes the terms "edges," "lines of sight," and "closure." In chapter 4, we learned about three types of implied lines. Edges refer to the lines created where two shapes meet or where an object ends and the background begins. Lines of sight are imaginary lines that follow the direction of a person's gaze or the movement of an object. Closure is the tendency of the brain to fill in missing information and perceive a complete shape or object even if some parts are not visible. Therefore, the correct answer includes these three types of implied lines.

    Check all characteristics that apply to-----Outlines 

    • Varies in lightness and darkness

    • Stays the same value

    • Varies in thickness and thinness

    • No change in the thickness or thinness-stays the same

    • Shows depth

    • Shows little to no depth

    • Shows outer edges

    • Shows inner edges and outer edges

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Stays the same value
    A. No change in the thickness or thinness-stays the same
    A. Shows little to no depth
    A. Shows outer edges
    Explanation
    Outlines stay the same value, meaning they maintain a consistent visual intensity. They also do not change in thickness or thinness, remaining constant throughout. Outlines show little to no depth, as they are typically flat and do not create a three-dimensional effect. They also show the outer edges of an object, defining its shape and boundaries. However, outlines do not show inner edges, as they only depict the outermost contours.
