    • B.

      The placement of one object over another in order to create the illusion of depth

    • C.

      When one object is above another object

    • D.

      The placement of one object below another object

    • E.

      Option 5

    • F.

      Option 6

    Correct Answer
    B. The placement of one object over another in order to create the illusion of depth
    Explanation
    Overlapping refers to the placement of one object over another in order to create the illusion of depth. This technique is commonly used in visual arts to give the impression that one object is closer to the viewer than the other. By overlapping objects, artists can create a sense of depth and dimension in their artwork, making it appear more realistic and three-dimensional.

    • D.

      A line that is enclosed

    Correct Answer
    D. A line that is enclosed
    Explanation
    A shape refers to a line that is enclosed, meaning that it forms a closed figure. In other words, a shape is created when a line connects back to its starting point, enclosing a space within it. This definition helps to differentiate shapes from lines and other elements in art and design.

    • B.

      An irregular shape typically found in nature

    • C.

      A shape that comes from math and has a name

    • D.

      A shape that is two dimensional

    Correct Answer
    C. A shape that comes from math and has a name
    Explanation
    A geometric shape is a shape that comes from math and has a name. Geometric shapes are typically defined by their properties and characteristics, such as the number of sides, angles, and symmetry. These shapes can be studied and analyzed using mathematical principles and formulas, allowing for a deeper understanding of their properties and relationships.

    • D.

      A shape with four sides

    Correct Answer
    B. An irregular shape most typically found in nature
    Explanation
    An organic shape refers to an irregular shape that is commonly found in nature. Unlike geometric shapes that have precise measurements and angles, organic shapes are free-flowing and often asymmetrical. These shapes can be observed in various natural elements such as plants, clouds, rocks, and bodies of water. They are characterized by their soft edges and lack of uniformity, reflecting the unpredictable and diverse patterns seen in the natural world.
