The Structure Of Art Appreciation Terms Quiz

A contour refers to the perceived edges of a three-dimensional form, such as the human body, and is used in art and design to portray depth and form.

Contour lines are specifically used to outline and define the edges of shapes in two-dimensional art, helping to create a sense of depth and form.

A line is a one-dimensional figure that extends in opposite directions indefinitely.

Shapes in art and design are defined as two-dimensional areas, different from physical forms or mathematical equations.

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object and is often associated with bulk, density, and weight. It is different from speed or color.

Figure ground refers to the relationship between shapes in two-dimensional images, specifically the dominant figure and the background. It is not related to shadow puppet shows, styles of painting, or optical illusions.

The term 'model' in this context refers to the technique of simulating the effects of light and shadow to create three-dimensional effects in two-dimensional artwork.

In the context of art and color theory, 'value' refers to the relative lightness or darkness of a hue, or of a neutral varying from white to black. It is different from intensity, temperature, and saturation of a color.

Hatching is a drawing technique involving closely spaced parallel lines to create shading and value on an image. It is commonly used in art to give the illusion of form and volume.

Cross-hatching involves layering lines at different angles to create varying shades and textures in drawings.

Stippling is a technique that involves creating patterns of dots or small marks to add texture and depth to a drawing or print. It is not limited to just straight lines, horizontal lines, or using charcoal.

A Color Wheel specifically refers to a circular chart used by artists and designers to understand color relationships and harmonies, not to other types of devices or tools.

Primary colors are foundational colors that can be combined to create all other colors. In pigment, the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue, as they cannot be created by mixing other colors. White, black, and gray are neutral colors, while green, orange, and purple are secondary colors. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are primary colors used in printing and color mixing.

Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors, which is a fundamental concept in color theory.

Intermediate colors, also known as tertiary colors, are created by mixing a primary color with a secondary color adjacent to it on the color wheel. This results in hues like yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, and yellow-green.

Warm colors refer to the colors that are associated with warmth, such as reds, oranges, and yellows, which are typically found on one side of the color wheel. These colors are often thought to evoke feelings of energy, excitement, and happiness.

Cool colors are typically associated with calmness and tranquility, as opposed to warm colors which are associated with energy and warmth.

In art terminologies, 'Palette' specifically refers to the wooden board or range of pigments used by artists, not the physical act of mixing colors, a type of paintbrush, or the frame holding a canvas.

Hue refers to the specific category of a color on the color wheel, such as green, red, or blue-violet. It is not related to fruits, brightness, or sound frequencies.

A tint refers to a color that has been lightened by adding white to it, resulting in a paler version of the original hue.

In terms of color, a shade refers to a color that is darker than the hue's normal value. For example, maroon is considered a shade of red because it is a darker version of the red hue.

Intensity, Chroma, or Saturation refers to the relative purity or brightness of a color, indicating how vivid or dull a color appears. It is not about the amount of black or white mixed with a color, the temperature of a color on the color wheel, or the way colors interact with each other in a composition.

Complementary colors are pairs of colors that, when combined, cancel each other out. They create a contrast that can be visually satisfying. On the color wheel, complementary colors are directly across from each other.

Analogous harmony refers to colors that are next to each other on the color wheel and share a common base color, creating a harmonious and pleasing visual effect.

Triadic Harmony in art and design refers to a color scheme using three hues that are evenly spaced on the color wheel. It creates a visually pleasing and balanced composition.

A restricted palette in art refers to the range of colors used by an artist which is limited to a few colors and their mixtures, tints, and shades. It is not about specific painting techniques, canvas materials, or the use of every color in the spectrum.

An open palette refers to the range of colors available to an artist, not a specific painting technique, brush, or color scheme.

Simultaneous Contrast refers to the way in which colors can affect each other when placed side by side. The phenomenon occurs due to the way the human eye perceives colors and their relationships with one another.
