5th Grade Art Exam: Trivia Quiz!

A landscape is exactly what it sounds like. It involves land or water (or a combination of the two)

A portrait is always of a person or thing. Typically, they are from the armpits up and sitting still. Sometimes you may see a full-body portrait.

Organic Shapes are kind of made-up "blob-like" shapes. They are shapes you might find in nature (like leaves and plants)! Geometric shapes are more rigid. Think of the shapes you might find in Math class or on tracers. Some examples are circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, and more!

A still-life is just how it sounds - it is basically a bunch of objects sitting STILL.

FUN FACT:

Many years ago, a still life showed the wealth of families. If the objects in the still life painting were very luxurious (such as lace, gold, silver, velvet, rare fruits), it showed that the family was very wealthy.

If the still life contained everyday objects such as apples, grapes, and a glass of water, then it showed that the family was not as wealthy.

The picture is best represented by Impressionism because it captures the essence of the style through its use of loose brushstrokes, emphasis on light and color, and the depiction of a fleeting moment. Impressionism was a movement in art that aimed to convey the impression or sensation of a scene rather than focusing on realistic details. The picture in question seems to align with this approach, as it lacks precise details and instead emphasizes the overall mood and atmosphere through its vibrant and expressive brushwork.

Complimentary Colors are ACROSS from each other on the color wheel. When placed next to each other, they look VERY bright (many sports teams use Complimentary Colors)!! I remember this idea by thinking of the color wheel as a dinner table...I like to sit ACROSS from my friend at the table so I can talk to them and compliment them. :-) The 3 most common sets of "friends" are: RED AND GREEN (Christmas) BLUE AND ORANGE (Syracuse Basketball) YELLOW AND PURPLE (Minnesota Vikings)

The correct answer is Cubism. Cubism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by fragmented and abstract forms. This picture exhibits the key elements of Cubism, such as the multiple perspectives, geometric shapes, and the deconstruction of the subject matter. The use of sharp angles and overlapping shapes in the image further reinforces its association with Cubism.

The FOREGROUND is the part of the picture that is CLOSEST to you....therefore objects should be fairly LARGE and super clear (full of detail).

The BACKGROUND is the part of the picture that is the FARTHEST away from you....therefore objects should be fairly SMALL and out of focus.

Try looking out your bedroom window or a window at school!!

The picture is a good example of symmetrical balance because it is divided into two equal halves that mirror each other. The elements on one side of the picture are balanced by the elements on the other side, creating a sense of harmony and equilibrium. This symmetrical arrangement gives the image a sense of stability and order.

A TINT is any color plus WHITE.

Example:
Green + white = light green.

A Shade is any color plus BLACK.
Think of the shade under a tree. It's always dark and cool.

Example:
Blue + black = dark blue.

By adding value to a shape, it means giving it depth or three-dimensionality. This can be achieved through shading, highlighting, or using different tones. Adding form to a shape helps to make it appear more realistic and gives it a sense of volume. In contrast, adding color refers to filling the shape with different hues, while a circle is a specific shape that does not require the addition of form. Therefore, the correct answer is form.

VALUE (we learned about it during our "Little Big Planet" projects) is shading from DARK TO LIGHT (or LIGHT TO DARK) in order to create a 3D FORM.
