Organic Shapes resemble Life-like formations.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Organic shapes are irregular, flowing, and freeform in nature, often inspired by natural elements such as plants, animals, and the human body. These shapes are not rigid or geometrically precise like geometric shapes. Instead, they have a more natural and lifelike appearance. Therefore, the statement "Organic Shapes resemble life-like formations" is true as organic shapes indeed bear a resemblance to the irregular and flowing forms found in living organisms and natural environments.Rate this question:

Juan Gris was inspired by Picasso and Braque.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Juan Gris, a Spanish painter and sculptor, was indeed inspired by Picasso and Braque, who were prominent figures in the development of Cubism. Gris was heavily influenced by their innovative approach to art, particularly in terms of breaking down objects and forms into geometric shapes and multiple viewpoints. He not only admired their work but also collaborated with them, contributing to the evolution of Cubism as an art movement. Therefore, it is accurate to say that Gris was inspired by Picasso and Braque.Rate this question:

Geometric Shapes resemble Life-like formations
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because geometric shapes do not resemble life-like formations. Geometric shapes are typically abstract and mathematical in nature, whereas life-like formations are organic and complex. Geometric shapes are often used to represent and analyze mathematical concepts and structures, while life-like formations are found in nature and have irregular shapes and patterns. Therefore, geometric shapes and life-like formations are fundamentally different from each other.Rate this question:

Balance Left Side = A Right Side = B Use the diagrams above to find which of the statements below are most true.
-
The paintings above are most likely done by Juan Gris, and both are done using asymmetrical balance
-
The paintings above are most likely an example of the differences in the works by George Braque and Pablo Picasso
-
The paintings above are most likely done by Juan Gris and A is an example of Radial Balance
-
The paintings above are most likely done by Juan Gris and B is an example of Symmetrical Balance
-
The paintings above are most likely done by Pablo Picasso and are both prime examples of Symmetrical Balance
Correct Answer
A. The paintings above are most likely done by Juan Gris, and both are done using asymmetrical balanceExplanation
Based on the given information, the paintings are most likely done by Juan Gris because it is stated in the question. Additionally, the paintings are described as being done using asymmetrical balance, which means that the elements in the paintings are not symmetrical or evenly distributed. This aligns with the information given in the diagrams, where the left side (A) and the right side (B) are not identical or balanced in a symmetrical way.Rate this question:

George Braque began to add actual found objects into his paintings which came to be known as Analytically Cubism.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
George Braque did indeed begin to incorporate actual found objects into his paintings, which is a characteristic of Analytical Cubism. Analytical Cubism was a style developed by Braque and Pablo Picasso in the early 20th century, where objects were broken down into geometric forms and multiple viewpoints were depicted simultaneously. This technique involved the use of collage, where actual objects such as newspaper clippings or pieces of fabric were attached to the canvas. Therefore, the statement "George Braque began to add actual found objects into his paintings which came to be known as Analytically Cubism" is true.Rate this question:

The painting above by Juan Gris displays his use of radial balance, because:
-
The painting contains items which make the painting heavy on one side, while light on the other.
-
The painting contains shapes which have their edges aligned with diagonals which appear to move away from a central axis point, like spokes on a bicycle wheel.
-
The painting is asymmetrical which moves the eye around the composition again and again.
-
The painting is very symmetrical, and has no real sense of radial balance.
-
The statements in A. & D. are true.
Correct Answer
A. The painting contains shapes which have their edges aligned with diagonals which appear to move away from a central axis point, like spokes on a bicycle wheel.Explanation
The correct answer is that the painting contains shapes which have their edges aligned with diagonals which appear to move away from a central axis point, like spokes on a bicycle wheel. This suggests the use of radial balance, as it creates a sense of movement and balance radiating from a central point.Rate this question:

Most web page designers use Symmetrical Balance as opposed to Asymmetrical Balance to create an opposition for the computer user.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Most web page designers actually use Asymmetrical Balance, not Symmetrical Balance, to create a more dynamic and visually interesting layout for the computer user. Asymmetrical Balance involves arranging elements on a page in an unbalanced manner, using different sizes, colors, and positions to create a sense of movement and tension. This helps to capture the user's attention and create a visually appealing design. Symmetrical Balance, on the other hand, involves arranging elements in a balanced and mirrored manner, which can create a more static and predictable layout. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:
