AIT UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM Questions
And Correct Answers
line - CORRECT ANSWERS the linear marks made with a pen or brush or the edge created when
two shapes meet.
shape - CORRECT ANSWERS a shape is a self contained defined area of geometric (squares and
circles), or organic (free formed shapes or natural shapes). A positive shape automatically creates a
negative shape.
space - CORRECT ANSWERS space in art refers to the distance or area between, around, above,
below, or within elements. Both positive and negative space are important factors to be considered in
every design.
texture - CORRECT ANSWERS texture is the surface quality of a shape - rough, smooth, soft hard
glossy etc.
colour - CORRECT ANSWERS colour is light reflected off objects. color has three main
characteristics: hue or its name (red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how
bright or dull it is).
3d form - CORRECT ANSWERS form can be 2 or 3 dimensional. form is perceived as having
depth. form is also defined by light and dark. there are two types of form, geometric (man-made) and
natural (organic form). form may be created by the combining of two or more shapes. it may be enhanced
by tone, texture and colour.
tone - CORRECT ANSWERS tone is the amount of lightness or darkness of an object / colour. it
can be flat or graduated.
balance - CORRECT ANSWERS balance in design is similar to balance in physics. a large shape
close to the centre can be balanced by a small shape close to the edge. balance provides stability and
structure to a design. it's the weight distributed in the design by the placement of your elements.
, unity - CORRECT ANSWERS unity (proximity and repetition) creates relationships between
elements. it provides a focal point.
proximity - CORRECT ANSWERS proximity doesn't mean that elements have to be placed
together, it means they should be visually connected in some way.
repetition - CORRECT ANSWERS repetition strengthens a design by tying together individual
elements. it helps to create association and consistency. repetition can create rhythm (a feeling of
organized movement).
contrast - CORRECT ANSWERS contrast is the juxtaposition of opposing elements (opposite
colours on the colour wheel, or value light / dark, or direction - horizontal / vertical). contrast allows us to
emphasize or highlight key elements in your design.
dominance - CORRECT ANSWERS dominance gives a painting interest, counteracting confusion
and monotony. dominance can be applied to one or more of the elements to give emphasis.
pattern - CORRECT ANSWERS pattern is the repetition of a shape or form. it can also reflect the
underlying structure of a design by organising the surfaces or objects in the composition.
movement - CORRECT ANSWERS movement is the path the viewer's eye takes through the
artwork, often to a focal area. It can be directed along lines, edges, shapes and color.
compositional rules - CORRECT ANSWERS provide the rules that include focal point/centre of
interest, framing, leading lines, reading gravity, rule of thirds, underlying geometric framework, eye-flow.
focal point/centre of interest - CORRECT ANSWERS refers to the central point of attention or
interest within a design.
framing - CORRECT ANSWERS is a technique used to present an image so that it immediately
captures the viewer's attention.
