    Which is best exhibited in this illustration? - ProProfs

    Which is best exhibited in this illustration?

    • Volume

    • Mass

    Correct Answer
    A. Volume
    Explanation
    Volume is a 3-D area, effectively illustrated by architecture. Mass, however, describes solidity and bulk. The glass and metal Louvre Pyramid allows the viewer to see the actual volume encased. The pyramids of Giza, however, are largely solid, with the exception of a small air shaft and burial chamber. The pyramids of Giza better reflect mass.

    What types of line are reflected in this painting? - ProProfs

    What types of line are reflected in this painting?

    • Implied

    • Line formed by an edge

    • Actual

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The implied line is completed by the viewer; ie. following a sightline-- the Virgin looking at Christ, Christ & infant St. John looking at each other, or by following a directional indicator such as an object pointing in a direction, such as the finger of the angel. A line formed by an edge is a type of contour line, where objects are not delineated with the actual line but are delineated by contrast, as if cut out and pasted on a background-- ie. figures & rock forms.  _____ is an actual line. The grass and the folds of the garments are read as lines.

    Because Pollock does not vary his line quality in the painting shown here, the term entasis does not apply. - ProProfs

    Because Pollock does not vary his line quality in the painting shown here, the term entasis does not apply.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Line quality in Pollock's painting does change. The artist varies the width of line from thin to thick to thin again. Because entasis is a term that describes line that swells, this term is applicable to Pollock's painting.

    Which principle direction of the line and its associated quality is largely reflected in this painting?    - ProProfs

    Which principle direction of the line and its associated quality is largely reflected in this painting?   

    • Vertical- assertiveness, defies gravity

    • Diagonal- implies movement

    • Horizontal- placid, like a body at rest

    • While this is largely horizontal and restful, motion is implied

    Correct Answer
    A. While this is largely horizontal and restful, motion is implied
    Explanation
    Horizontal compositions mimic a body at rest and are considered to be restful. Vertical lines are assertive since they defy gravity. ( Note: a human body which is upright and static is read as a vertical line.) Diagonal lines imply movement. This composition is largely horizontal, implying restfulness; yet, the diagonal lines of the rowers' arms and their oars imply movement. While there are vertical lines on the shoreline, they are not dominant.
