When lines, planes, and surface treatments are repeated in a regular sequence.
- A.
Balance
- B.
Rhythm
- C.
Contrast
- D.
Proportion
Correct Answer
B. RhythmExplanation
Rhythm refers to the repetition of lines, planes, or surface treatments in a regular sequence. It creates a sense of movement and flow in a design. In this context, when these elements are repeated in a regular sequence, it creates a rhythm in the design. Balance is the distribution of visual weight in a composition, contrast is the juxtaposition of different elements, and proportion is the relationship between different parts of a design. None of these concepts specifically relate to the repetition of lines, planes, and surface treatments in a regular sequence, making rhythm the correct answer.Rate this question:

That which the eye identifies, the mind perceives and interprets
- A.
Shape
- B.
Texture
- C.
Form
- D.

Correct Answer
C. FormExplanation
Form refers to the overall structure or arrangement of an object or visual element. It involves the combination of shape, texture, and orientation to create a coherent and recognizable whole. When the eye identifies these visual elements, the mind perceives and interprets them as a form. Therefore, form is the most appropriate answer as it encompasses the concept of shape, texture, and orientation in relation to visual perception and interpretation.Rate this question:

With respect to an observer
- A.
Size
- B.
Orientation
- C.
Visual inertia
- D.
Position
Correct Answer
C. Visual inertiaExplanation
Visual inertia refers to the tendency of an object to appear to continue moving in the same direction even after it has stopped. This phenomenon occurs because our visual system takes some time to process changes in motion. Therefore, when an object suddenly stops, our brain still perceives it as moving for a brief period. This can create an illusion of motion or cause us to misjudge the position or direction of an object. In the context of the given question, visual inertia is a relevant factor to consider when assessing the perception of an object's movement or motion.Rate this question:
