This is because the size of an object is perceived in relation to the size of its surroundings. So, when there is a larger space, the object's size appears relatively smaller.Rate this question:

What is the outline of an object that defines the boundaries of positive and negative space?
-
Form
-
Function
-
Faces
Correct Answer
A. FormExplanation
Form refers to the overall shape and structure of an object. In the context of this question, the outline of an object that defines the boundaries of positive and negative space is referring to the form of the object. The form of an object helps to distinguish between the object itself and the space surrounding it. It is the physical manifestation of the object and provides a clear visual representation of its boundaries. Therefore, form is the correct answer in this case.Rate this question:

Texture has no effect on colour.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Texture does have an effect on color. Texture refers to the surface quality of an object, such as whether it is smooth or rough. Different textures can interact with light in different ways, affecting how we perceive the color of an object. For example, a smooth surface may reflect light differently than a rough surface, causing variations in color perception. Therefore, the statement that texture has no effect on color is false.Rate this question:

Which of the following can a room seem without a focal point? (Select 2)
-
Confusing
-
Exciting
-
Disorganised
-
Tidy
Correct Answer(s)
A. Confusing
A. DisorganisedExplanation
A room can seem confusing without a focal point because without a central point of interest, the eye may not know where to focus, resulting in a disorienting and perplexing experience. Additionally, a room can appear disorganized without a focal point because a focal point helps to anchor and structure the space, providing a sense of order and coherence.Rate this question:
