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. It has no length, width, or depth, and is represented by a dot. Unlike a line, plane, or volume, which have dimensions and extend infinitely, a point has no size or shape. Therefore, when indicating a position in space, a point is the most appropriate choice.Rate this question:

A line extended in a direction other than its intrinsic direction?
- A.
Plane
- B.
Line
- C.
Volume
- D.
Point
Correct Answer
A. PlaneExplanation
A line extended in a direction other than its intrinsic direction can be described as a plane. A plane is a two-dimensional flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. Unlike a line, which only extends in one dimension, a plane extends in two dimensions, forming a flat surface. Therefore, a plane is the most suitable option to describe a line extended in a direction other than its intrinsic direction.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 a boundary or volume. A plane is a two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. It can be used to define the boundaries or surfaces of objects within a composition, providing a sense of depth and perspective. Unlike a line or a point, a plane has width and height, allowing for the representation of a larger space or volume in a creative composition. Therefore, a plane is the most suitable option for defining the limit of a boundary or volume in a creative composition.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 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 or feel of an object, surface refers to the outermost layer of an object, and mass refers to the physical bulk or weight of an object. However, none of these characteristics specifically relate to the identifying characteristic of a volume as described in the question.Rate this question:

What architectural line is prominent in Prarie house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright?
- A.
Massiveness
- B.
Vertical
- C.
Horizontal
- D.
Combination of vertical and horizontal line
Correct Answer
C. HorizontalExplanation
The correct answer is horizontal. In Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie house designs, the horizontal line is prominent. This can be seen in the long, low-slung roofs, horizontal bands of windows, and horizontal emphasis in the overall layout of the house. The horizontal line helps to create a sense of harmony and integration with the surrounding landscape, which is a key characteristic of Wright's Prairie style architecture.Rate this question:

- C.
Shape
- D.
Size
Correct Answer
C. ShapeExplanation
The question is asking for the characteristic outline or surface configuration of a particular form, which is the principal aspect by which we identify form. Out of the given options, shape is the most appropriate choice as it refers to the overall form or structure of an object. Texture refers to the feel or consistency of a surface, form is a more general term that encompasses various aspects of an object, and size refers to the dimensions of an object. Therefore, shape is the best answer that fits the given explanation.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. ColorExplanation
Color is the correct answer because it is a phenomenon of light and visual perception that involves an individual's perception of hue, saturation, and tone value. Color allows us to distinguish a form from its environment as it provides information about the appearance and characteristics of objects. It plays a crucial role in our perception and understanding of the world around us.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Subtractive transformationExplanation
NOTE: A form can be transformed by subtracting a portion of its volume. Depending on the extent of the subtractive process, the form can retain its initial identity or be transformed into a form of another family. For example, a cube can retain its identity as a cube even thought a portion of it is removed, or be transformed into a series of regular polyhedrons that begin to approximate sphere.Rate this question:

Le Corbusier developed his proportioning system, the Modulor, to order "the dimension of that which contains and that which is contained". He saw the measuring tools of the greek, egyptians and other high civilizations as being infinitely rich and subtle because they formed part of the mathematics of the human body, gracious, elegant and firm, the source of that harmony which moves us, beauty."
