ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
image of a painting - CORRECT ANSWER - What the artwork represents, what is
depicted
one-point lineperspective - CORRECT ANSWER - The perspective you see when you're
standing right in front of something. With a one-point perspective, you have one vanishing point
where all the horizontal lines that go into depth come together.
Flightlines - CORRECT ANSWER - All lines that are in reality parallel to each other and
move away from us have the same vanishing point on the horizon. Not only the visible lines, but
also imaginary lines that show, for example, the tops of trees.
vanishing point - CORRECT ANSWER - The point on the horizon to which all -in reality
parallel- horizontal lines run.
textural expression - CORRECT ANSWER - The textures of objects are made to look very
realistic. As if you could feel them. A good textural expression makes the painting or image
realistic.
foreground and background - CORRECT ANSWER - We use the terms foreground and
background to describe the spatial effect. In general, the further away something is, the more the
parts of the image are blurred or blurred (and placed higher on the image plane). So: fore = large,
sharp; Behind = small and vague.
Staging - CORRECT ANSWER - Parts of a painting are placed higher/lower on an image.
This gives spaciousness. The further away, the higher the part is (and smaller).
Cropping - CORRECT ANSWER - Way of depicting in which parts of the image fall
outside the frame. This gives the impression that the image continues outside the frame.
, overlap - CORRECT ANSWER - To make an object appear further away than another
object, you can place the rear object behind the front object (is also slightly higher in image
plane). The front object then covers part of the rear object.
diminution - CORRECT ANSWER - something that is further away is smaller then when
it is in the foreground of the painting
Foreshortening - CORRECT ANSWER - The length of the shape seems shorter than it
actually is, because the shape is directed towards the viewer. The actual length is therefore not
fully visible.
Plasticity 2D - CORRECT ANSWER - Is an example of a suggestion of space. This is
caused by light and shadows and makes objects .
horizon - CORRECT ANSWER - A horizontal line at eye level on which the vanishing
points lie. You can't see beyond the horizon. If you lie on the ground or fly in a hot air balloon,
the horizon always stays at the height of your eyes!
light/dark contrast - CORRECT ANSWER - A contrast between darker or brighter area's.
Not always black and white.
Worm's Eye View - CORRECT ANSWER - If you stand next to an apartment building and
you look up, you see the flat from a worm's eye perspective. Because your eye level relative to
your subject is low, the horizon is also low.
bird's eye view - CORRECT ANSWER - If you are standing on the roof of a house and
you see a dog walking in the garden of that house, you see that dog from a bird's eye view.
Because your eye level is high, the horizon is also high.
Cool-warm contrast - CORRECT ANSWER - a contrast between cool (blue-ish) and warm
(red-ish) colours. Warm colours come towards you and cool colours go to the background.
