Question 1
Students are each given three identical small lumps of modeling clay and are asked to
sculpt three different hearts from the lumps. For example, the hearts can be plump or
slender, with varying proportions. The activity will best help students understand the art
element of
A) line.
B) form.
C) texture.
D) light.
CORRECT ANSWER
Option B is correct because form means the volume and shape of a three-dimensional
object. Varying the physical characteristics of the hearts made from the same amount of
clay will create different forms. Option A is incorrect because line, at the level of
elementary students, is understood as an element of two-dimensional art. Option C is
incorrect because even though students might choose to vary the texture of the hearts,
texture would still be secondary to the art element of form. Option D is incorrect because
light is not part of this activity.
Question 2
During a unit on fiber art, it would be most appropriate for students to learn how to use a
A) handloom.
B) press mold.
1
, C) palette knife.
D) lathe chisel.
CORRECT ANSWER
Option A is correct because a handloom is a tool for weaving, a common kind of fiber art.
Options B, C and D are incorrect because, while they are all tools that are used with
other art media, they are not used in fiber arts.
Question 3
A fifth-grade teacher instructs students to use a camera to take pictures of various objects
around the school. The students are to use the following methods when taking pictures.
Shoot from up high and down low.
Shoot from different sides and angles.
The activity will best help students understand the visual concept of...
A) balance.
B) narrative.
C) symbolism.
D) perspective.
CORRECT ANSWER
Option D is correct because the resulting photographs will demonstrate to the students
how perspective (the illusion that images diminish in space along converging lines) is
affected by different angles. Options A, B and C are incorrect because they could be part
of a student's photograph but the exercise itself will not elicit any of them.
