FTCE ART k-12 EXAM PREP
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS6
Kandinsky - ANSWERS -He is credited with painting one of the first recognised purely abstract
works.
fresco - ANSWERS -a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid, or wet lime plaster.
Water is used as the vehicle for the pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of
the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word fresco (Italian: affresco)
is derived from the Italian adjective fresco meaning "fresh", and may thus be contrasted with
fresco-secco or secco mural painting techniques, which are applied to dried plaster, to
supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is
closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting
wash - ANSWERS -visual arts technique resulting in a semi-transparent layer of color. A wash of
diluted ink or watercolor paint applied in combination with drawing is called pen and wash,
wash drawing, or ink and wash.[4] Normally only one or two colours of wash are used; if more
colours are used the result is likely to be classified as a full watercolor painting.
impasto - ANSWERS -a technique used in painting, where paint is laid on an area of the surface
in very thick layers,[1] usually thick enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible.
Paint can also be mixed right on the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture; the paint
appears to be coming out of the canvas.
dry brush - ANSWERS -a painting technique in which a paint brush that is relatively dry, but still
holds paint, is used. Load is applied to a dry support such as paper or primed canvas. The
resulting brush strokes have a characteristic scratchy look that lacks the smooth appearance
that washes or blended paint commonly have.
, Lost-wax casting - ANSWERS -is the process by which a duplicate metal sculpture (often silver,
gold, brass or bronze) is cast from an original sculpture.
incising - ANSWERS -to engrave a design by cutting or scraping into the clay surface at any stage
of drying, from soft to bone dry. With hard bone-dry clay you will obtain more precise lines, but
you have to be very careful that it does not break.
lithography - ANSWERS -is a method of printing originally based on the immiscibility of oil and
water.
intaglio - ANSWERS -a design incised or engraved into a material. the incised area holds the ink.
High Renaissance - ANSWERS -The elongated proportions and exaggerated poses in the late
works of Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto and Correggio prefigure so-called Mannerism, as the
style of the later Renaissance is referred to in art history. Many consider 16th century High
Renaissance art to be largely dominated by three individuals: Michelangelo, Raphael, and
Leonardo da Vinci.High Renaissance art is characterized by references to classical art and
delicate application of developments from the Early Renaissance (such as on-point perspective).
Overall, works from the High Renaissance display restrained beauty where all of the parts are
subordinate to the cohesive composition of the whole.
impressionism - ANSWERS -Picking up on the ideas of Gustave Courbet, the Impressionists
aimed to be painters of the real - they aimed to extend the possible subjects for paintings.
Getting away from depictions of idealized forms and perfect symmetry, but rather concentrating
on the world as they saw it, imperfect in a miriad number of ways.Picking up on the ideas of
