88. When drawing the ears, a common mistake that young artists make is to draw what they think the ear should look like. Artists must employ the technique of ___________________ in order to make the ears look correct on the sides of the head.

Explanation

When drawing the ears, artists must employ the technique of foreshortening in order to make them look correct on the sides of the head. Foreshortening is the technique of depicting objects or body parts that are closer to the viewer as larger and those that are farther away as smaller. By using foreshortening, artists can create the illusion of depth and accurately represent the ears in relation to the head.

Submit
89. Balance is...

Explanation

Balance is a principle of art that deals with visual weight. In art, balance refers to the distribution of visual elements within a composition. It is about creating a sense of equilibrium and harmony in a piece of artwork. Visual weight is the perceived heaviness or lightness of elements within the composition. Balance ensures that the visual weight is distributed evenly, creating a sense of stability and cohesion. It can be achieved through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements of elements.

92. When taking photos or drawing a picture or creating a painting, which of the following statements is true about the Rule of Thirds?

Explanation

The Rule of Thirds in photography, drawing, or painting suggests dividing the area into three equal parts both horizontally and vertically. The main subject should be placed at one or more of the points where these lines intersect. This composition technique creates a more visually appealing and balanced image, as it avoids placing the subject directly in the center of the frame. By placing the subject off-center, it adds interest and allows the viewer's eyes to move around the image more naturally.

Explanation

Contour lines are lines that represent the outline of an object or the shape of a surface. They are used in art and cartography to depict the three-dimensional form of an object or the topography of a landscape. Contour lines vary in lightness and darkness to show areas of light and shadow, and they also vary in thickness and thinness to indicate changes in elevation or depth. Additionally, contour lines show depth by representing the height or depth of different parts of an object or landscape. Finally, contour lines show both inner edges (such as the outline of a shape) and outer edges (such as the outline of a mountain or hill).

Submit
98. These are the three parts that you would include in the written description--we learned in chapter 3 on handout 3.1 Check all that apply

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

Explanation

The correct answer includes three types of implied lines: edges, lines of sight, and closure. Implied lines are suggested or created through the arrangement of objects or elements in a composition. Edges refer to the outer boundaries or contours of shapes, while lines of sight are imaginary lines that follow the direction of a person's gaze or focus. Closure is the perception of a complete or whole shape or form, even if it is not fully defined or visible. These three types of implied lines help to create visual connections and organization within an artwork.
