Grade Details - All Questions

Question 1. Question : Actual textures are real. Student Answer:  True  (Actual textures are real. Actual textures refer to the texture of the medium used to create art. For example, a relief painting or sculpture, a textile wall hanging, or mixed-media collage.)  False Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 2. Question : Textural contrast can be created by: Student Answer:  Including similar texture  Including different textures (Textural contrast can be created by including different textures. Incorporating texture in a composition can add to the sense of realism and visual interest, but it also provides an opportunity to imply textural contrast. For example, placing a smooth high-gloss piece of pottery in front of a stone wall can create contrast between these two textures.)  Neither a or b  Both a & b Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 3. Question : Translucent surfaces allow diffused light to pass through. Student Answer:  True  (Translucent surfaces allow diffused light to pass through. Shadows and shapes can be seen through translucent objects.)  False Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 4. Question : Texture, by definition means: Student Answer:  The tactile appearance of the surface of an object  The visual appearance of the surface of the object  Neither a or b  Both a & b (Texture by definition is both the tactile and visual appearance of the surface of the object.) Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 5. Question : Transparent objects allow light and images to pass through unobstructed. Student Answer:  True  (Transparent objects allow light and images to pass through unobstructed.)  False Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 6. Question : Which tool is better for lifting off areas of charcoal to render details: Student Answer:  Kneaded eraser  color shapers (The tool which is best for lifting of areas of charcoal to render details is (b) color shapers. Color shapers are effective for lifting off charcoal to gain the detail you need.)  Neither a & or b  Both a & b Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 7. Question : Cast shadows have: Student Answer:  Solid even black values  Tonal variation (Cast shadows have tonal variation. One of our key considerations when approaching cast shadows is their inherent translucent quality. This means that the cast shadow contains overflow or traces of the light source that through it, which results in the tonal variation that we see in cast shadows. This can be a result of bounced or reflected light off an adjacent surface, also referred to as a fill light, or a result of reflected light off the object itself. If we look at the example of the cast shadow in the forsythia image, we see reflected light off the image in the center of the shadow, and then it gets gradually darker as it moves out.)  Neither a or b  Both a & b Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 8. Question : Adding opposite or different textures will: Student Answer:  Create a messy drawing  Add visual contrast (Incorporating texture in a composition can add to the sense of realism and visual interest, but it also provides an opportunity to imply textural contrast. For example, placing a smooth high-gloss piece of pottery in front of a stone wall can create contrast between these two textures.)  Neither a or b  Both a & b Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 9. Question : When adding textures to your drawings you should: Student Answer:  Add your textural elements and tonal values at the same time (When adding textures to your drawing you should build your textural elements and tonal values at the same time. A common struggle that students encounter with texture is that they wait to address it in the final stage of the drawing process and approach it as a detail that sits on top of the surface of the form. Oftentimes, this will result in the texture appearing separate from the form, and in the end, the texture will fail to be convincing, and the composition will lack unity. In order for a texture to conform consistently to a form, it must be depicted using the same light source that has already been established in the scene.)  Add your textures at the final stage of your drawing  Neither a or b  Both a & b Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments: Question 10. Question : Reflections are: Student Answer:  light or images bouncing off a mirrored surface (Reflections are light or images bouncing off a mirrored surface. The surface itself is referred to as a reflective surface.)  Curved  Neither a or b  Both a & b Points Received: 3 of 3 Comments:
