    • True

    Explanation
    The statement is asking whether materials are not the things used to create art. The correct answer is False, meaning that materials are indeed the things used to create art.

    • The outer edge of an artwork

    Correct Answer
    A. The part of a scene or picture that is nearest to and in front of the viewer
    Explanation
    The "foreground" in an artwork refers to the part of a scene or picture that is nearest to and in front of the viewer. It is the area that appears closest to the viewer's perspective and often contains the main subject or objects of focus in the artwork. This is different from the background, which is the area behind the main subject or objects. The center part of the artwork or the outer edge are not necessarily synonymous with the foreground.

    Which one is NOT an element of design?

    • Color

    • Shape

    • Shade

    • Line

    Correct Answer
    A. Shade
    Explanation
    Shade is not an element of design because it refers to the varying degrees of darkness or lightness of a color. While color, shape, and line are all elements of design that contribute to the overall visual composition, shade is a characteristic that is derived from the manipulation of color. It is used to create depth, dimension, and contrast within a design, but it is not considered a fundamental element in and of itself.
