ELEMENTS OF FORM: TEST

1. The term Mass refers to:

form with strong edges

large form
x form with three-dimensional volume
none of the above

2. Masses in a sculptural composition can be composed using:

x linear principles
principles of color harmony
principles of cross-contour
none of the above

3. The term contours refers to:

shapes that are longer than they are wide
x lines that show the outline of the edges or surfaces of a form
rounded shapes
the figure/ground relationship

4. Cross-contour is used to:

show the intersection of two lines in space

unite shapes in a composition
x show mass by using line
none of the above
5. The character of a shape is most determined by
its context
its outside contour
x its texture
its depth

6. Contour drawings:
require specific shading techniques
are hard to do
are based on color relationships
x feature simplified line

7. The character of a line is determined by:

its relationship to weight
x its angles and/or curves
its color
its three-dimensional nature

8. Line can be used to show:

shape
x mass
texture
all of the above

9. When a figure is drawn on a picture plane, how many shapes

are created?

two
one
x none
infinite
ORGANIZING SPACE: TEST
10. What is a vanishing point?
erasure of a dot
x point in perspective drawing where the sight lines come together
place where you can't see anything in a picture
the tip of a pencil

11. One-Point Perspective works best with:

solid forms
x taking photographs
geometric forms
large forms outdoors

12. All horizontal vectors in Two-Point Perspective:

make geometric shapes
x vanish to the horizon line
are perpendicular
all of the above

13. Foreshortening is:

making one leg shorter than the other in a sculpture
arranging forms in relation to a point of view
cutting off the front part of a picture
x none of the above

14. The maximum effect of foreshortening occurs

x looking directly into the figure's eyes
in the background
at eye level with the feet of a figure, looking up
at eye level with the navel of a figure, looking sideways

15. When a light is shined directly on an object, it appears:

farther away
x more three dimensional
just the same
 flatter

16. In figure/ground relationships

cold colors are stronger
similar color increases contrast
x strong contrast sets the figure off from the ground
none of the above

17. The strongest indicator of spatial depth is:

scale
overlap
hardness of edge

x all of the above

ELEMENTS OF COLOR AND LIGHT: TEST
18. The additive primary colors are:
red, yellow, blue
x red, green, blue
blue, yellow, orange
red, green, purple

19. The secondary colors are:

red, green, purple
x blue, yellow, orange
magenta, teal, brown
magenta, cyan, yellow

20. When you mix color light using Red, Green and Blue filters
of equal values you get:
yellow light
white light
orange light
x black light

21. When a photographer wants an image to look more graphic:

all the tones are shown with low contrast
contrast does not affect the appearance of the image
all the tones are shown naturally using normal contrast
x the tones are shown with high contrast

23. The subtractive primary colors are:

pink, orange, and teal

x red, yellow, and blue
magenta, cyan, and yellow
 white, black, and gray

24. The additive process refers to:

x creating color by adding light to pigment
using math to figure out what color you need
creating color by changing the way light is refracted
creating color by mixing pigments such as paints or pastels

25. The subtractive process refers to:

using a filter to choose pigments
scraping pigment away in layers until you get the right color
creating color by changing the way light is refracted
x creating color by mixing pigments such as paints or pastels
