Q

Four Ways of Changing the Intensity of Colors.

A
  1. When white is added to any hue, the tone becomes lighter in value, but it also loses
    its brightness or intensity of color.
  2. When black is added to a hue, the intensity diminishes as the value darkens.
  3. When gray of the same value is mixed with the color, the intensity diminishes while
    its value remains the same. The color becomes less bright but will not get lighter or
    darker in tone.
  4. When complementary hues such as yellow and violet, red and green, blue and orange
    are mixed, it will result in a neutral grey.

28
Q

It is a two-dimensional area with identifiable boundaries. It is a space
enclosed by lines, and is created by lines, color, value, contrasting texture, or by some
combination of these.

A

Shape

29
Q

are shapes that we see in nature. These may be interpreted
realistically, or they may be distorted.

A

Natural shapes

30
Q

are formed after the artist has drawn out the essence of the original
object and made it the subject of his work.

A

Abstract shapes

31
Q

seldom have reference to recognized objects, but most often
they show a similarity to some organic forms. Sometimes these are called biomorphic and
geometrical shapes.

A

Non-objective shapes

32
Q

are the curvilinear shapes in art that suggest the possibility of life

A

Biomorphic shapes

33
Q

are the rectilinear (straight line) shapes developed by the cubist in
their dissection and reformulation of nature.

A

Geometric shapes

34
Q

It comes from the Latin word “spatium” which means “a limitless medium in
which objects exist.”

A

Space

35
Q

is shallow or depthless which exists across the plane rather than in it.

A

Decorative space

36
Q

is
the term applied to the third dimension which is a matter of “illusion” in painting.

Plastic space

37
Q

presumes that an object, no matter how small, covers
a part of another object which is behind it. This method gives the observer the impression
that one object has a particular thickness or breadth and that it is in front of another object.

A

Overlapping Planes or volumes

38
Q

Based on experience, we interpret largeness of size as nearness and
a diminishing size as an indication of distance.

A

Variation in Size

39
Q

In certain paintings the spatial representation is based
on the position of forms relative to the bottom of the frame. This method is frequently
found in Medieval Art and in the arts of China and Japan.

A

Position on the Picture Plane

40
Q

The warm colors give the illusion that they are closer to us than the cool
colors, and some artists have exploited this quality to deepen or flatten space in their works.

A

Color

41
Q

When shapes are given the thickness that converts them into
volumes, or masses, there is automatic implication of the space within which they must
exist.

A

Volumes and Planes

42
Q

is a mechanical means of demonstrating the visual
appearance of planes and volumes in space.

A

Linear perspective

43
Q

To show the same effect of space and distance in art, painters make use of ________ and_________.

A

converging
lines and diminishing sizes.

44
Q

In ______ perspective, objects seem to become smaller and less distinct in outline as
they recede into the distance.

A

linear

45
Q

In ______ perspective, the color of objects seem to become lighter or fainter as the
objects go farther into the distance or atmosphere.

A

aerial

46
Q

. It is the relative degree of lightness or darkness in painting which indicates

• Breaks up the picture surface into patterns of dark and light
• Creates the illusion of light, space and movement
• Expresses emotion

48
Q

It refers to the technique which concentrates to the effects of blending
of light and shade on objects to create an illusion of space and atmosphere. It establishes the
