Flashcards About Art And Its Physiological And Scientific Impact

Art created by nonprofessionals is called outsider art An imaginary line in an artwork is known as what? implied line The position on the horizon line where the orthogonal lines of linear-perspective meet vanishing point In metalpoint lines are drawn with a ________________ onto a surface coated with gesso or poster paint. wire A branch of philosophy that studies sensory responses related to, but not limited by, the concept of beauty. aesthetics The main difference between crayons and chalks is that they are made with different binders. An example of a liquid drawing medium is pen and ink. If a work of art is faithful to our visual experience it’s called naturalistic. When discussing the size, shape, color, material, and composition of a work of art, we are discussing its form. In printmaking, to cancel a print means that no more prints can be made from the matrix. What is pigment? powdered color Which printmaking method functions on the principle that water and oil do not mix? lithography In which printmaking method is the printed area raised, and the non-printed surface cut away? relief In fresco painting, a drawing called a _________is transferred to the prepared plaster surface prior to applying the pigment. cartoon Which drawing material is made from animal skins? parchment In oil painting, linseed oil acts as a binder. One of the advantages of oil painting is that it dries very slowly. This allows for blending of colors. the painting to be reworked indefinitely. the application of layers of paint on top of one another. A work that is arranged with dissimilar elements on either side has what kind of balance? asymmetrical Lines are used in art to indicate boundaries between forms. direction and motion. shadows and highlight. spatial depth on flat surfaces. Style, as defined by recurring characteristics found in art, can be classified in terms of individual style. cultural style. school style. period style. Mixing a primary color and a secondary color produces a _____________ color. tertiary A color produced by the addition of white to make it lighter. tint By the 1950s, this new synthetic paint would challenge oils as the principal painting medium. What is it? acrylic An example of an ancient painting medium is fresco. The apparent “heaviness” or “lightness” of the shapes and forms arranged in the composition is called visual weight. An intaglio method in which lines are cut into a metal plate with a burin. engraving An intaglio method in which a drawing tool removes some of the acid-resistant ground covering a metal plate etching The definition of form and content are form is the way that art looks; content is what the work is about. The substance that holds particles of pigment together is called binder. In a two-dimensional work of art that is balanced symmetrically, the implied center of gravity is along the vertical axis down the center of the composition. In printmaking, where multiple images are made from the same design, each individual print is called an impression. Which of the following is NOT one of the intaglio methods? linocut Which of the following printing techniques is especially capable of producing subtle shades of gray? mezzotint Paper, made from a mixture of plant materials and water, was invented in China. Artists will often add ___________ to provide interest and enliven the unity of a work of art. variety How large is an edition of a print that is numbered 13/40? 40 prints The main subject or main element emphasized is called what? focal point The design principle that is based on repetition is called rhythm. How many prints can be made from a monotype? one What is the binder in acrylic paint? acrylic resin Oil paint that is applied in thin, transparent layers is what? glazes Vertical lines indicate stability A solid, three-dimensional form that has weight and takes up real space. mass Which of the following is an example of a nonaqueous medium? oil A color that, in theory, cannot be created by a mixture of others colors? primary What is the relative lightness or darkness of an area called? value Artists use burned sticks of wood in order to produce charcoal drawings The two basic families of structural systems in architecture are the shell and the skeleton-and-skin. A form of sculpture in which an entire room is treated as a work of art to be entered and experienced installation. The carving method is more aggressive than modeling. is more direct than casting. is a subtractive process. Four basic methods for making a sculpture are modeling, casting, carving, and assembling. The theme of the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes comes from the Old Testament in the Bible. The subtractive process in sculpture involves carving. ______________ is a sculptural process of bringing together individual pieces, segments, or objects to form a sculpture.
