    Successful lighting schemes must be planned at the beginning of a design project.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Planning lighting schemes at the beginning of a design project is important because it allows for proper integration of lighting fixtures and controls into the overall design. By considering lighting needs and requirements early on, designers can ensure that the lighting design enhances the functionality and aesthetics of the space. This also allows for coordination with other design elements, such as furniture placement and architectural features, resulting in a cohesive and well-executed design. Therefore, it is crucial to plan lighting schemes at the beginning of a design project to achieve successful outcomes.

    Smaller pieces of artwork are less powerful when grouped together.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Grouping smaller pieces of artwork together can actually create a more powerful impact. By clustering smaller artworks, they can create a visually dynamic arrangement that draws attention and adds interest to a space. Additionally, grouping smaller pieces allows for more flexibility in arranging and rearranging the artworks, providing opportunities for creative expression and experimentation. Therefore, the statement that smaller pieces of artwork are less powerful when grouped together is false.

    The eye works best when the work surface is less brightly lit than the surroundings.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The eye works best when the work surface is more brightly lit than the surroundings. This is because when the work surface is well-lit, it allows for better contrast and visibility, reducing eye strain and making it easier to focus on the task at hand. When the surroundings are brighter than the work surface, it can create a glare or make it difficult to see details clearly, leading to decreased visual performance.

    Which of the following are types of lighting? (Select 3)

    • Accent lighting

    • Task lighting

    A. Accent lighting
    A. Task lighting
    A. General lighting
    Explanation
    The correct answer includes three types of lighting: accent lighting, task lighting, and general lighting. Accent lighting is used to highlight specific objects or areas, creating a focal point.

    Which of the following are factors to consider when measuring windows for blinds? (Select 2)

    • Direction house is facing

    • Climate

    • Size

    • Number of windows

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Size
    A. Number of windows
    Explanation
    When measuring windows for blinds, two factors to consider are the size of the windows and the number of windows. The size of the windows is important because it determines the dimensions of the blinds that will fit properly. The number of windows is also important because it determines how many blinds will be needed. Factors such as the direction the house is facing and the climate may be relevant for other considerations, but they are not directly related to measuring windows for blinds.

    Colour and grain variations on a piece of wood indicate that it is not 'real' wood.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Colour and grain variations on a piece of wood do not necessarily indicate that it is not real wood. In fact, these variations are common in real wood and can be caused by factors such as the type of tree, age of the wood, and environmental conditions. These variations in colour and grain are often considered desirable and can enhance the natural beauty of the wood. Therefore, the statement that colour and grain variations indicate that it is not real wood is false.

    Which of the following methods of joining is the least durable?

    • Screws

    • Glue

    • Staples

    Correct Answer
    A. Staples
    Explanation
    Staples are the least durable method of joining compared to screws and glue. Staples are typically used for temporary or light-duty applications and do not provide as strong or long-lasting of a bond as screws or glue. They can easily be removed or become loose over time, making them less durable in comparison. Screws provide a secure and strong connection, while glue creates a permanent bond between materials.

    Which of the following should you do to create a feeling of spaciousness in your room? (Select 2)

    • Use ceiling lights

    • Use diffuse lighting

    • Eliminate shadows

    • Use harsh, solid lighting

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Use diffuse lighting
    A. Eliminate shadows
    Explanation
    To create a feeling of spaciousness in a room, using diffuse lighting is effective as it spreads the light evenly throughout the space, making it appear brighter and larger. Additionally, eliminating shadows helps to minimize any dark areas, giving the room a more open and airy feel. On the other hand, using harsh, solid lighting can create strong contrasts and shadows, which can make the room feel smaller and more confined.
