LSP1501 ASSIGNMENT 4 2026
DUE JULY 2026
QUESTION 1: TRUE OR FALSE
QUESTION 1
State whether the following statements are true or false.
1.1 Artists frequently use colours to arouse the child’s imagination.
True
According to Fox and Schirrmacher (2015:124), colour is produced through a reflection
of light on an object and children use colour to portray various emotions and feelings.
1.2 Rhythm is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts or
numbers) operate harmoniously.
False
This statement describes proportion, not rhythm. The study guide defines proportion as
"the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts or numbers) relate well with
each other" (Fox & Schirrmacher 2015:97).
1.3 The process of creation can vary depending on an individual's personal
temperament or artistic style.
True
The creativity process acknowledges that "the process of creation can vary depending
on an individual's personal temperament or his/her artistic style" (Naude & Meier
,2016:58). For some artists, the creation phase is brief, while for others it may take
hours, days or weeks (Naude & Meier 2016:58).
1.4 Constructivists believe that knowledge is constructed and that learning does
not occur when children create products or artefacts.
False
Constructivists believe that "knowledge is constructed, and learning occurs when
children create products or artefacts" (Naude & Meier 2016:65). According to Piaget's
constructivist theory, children build knowledge through cognitive learning experiences in
their daily interactions with the world (Fosnot 2005; Naude & Meier 2016:64).
QUESTION 2: IDENTIFY THE ART FORM
2.1 Art that employs various two-dimensional and three-dimensional materials to
create a particular space designed to have an impact on the viewer
Installation art
Installation art is a form of visual art that uses various materials, often both two-
dimensional and three-dimensional, to transform a space and create an immersive
experience for the viewer. As described in the study guide, "visual art encompasses
many different art forms, ranging from painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking to
new media such as installation art" (Naude & Meier 2016:90).
2.2 The use of clay and hands, with minimal craft tools
, Pottery
Pottery is "a good example of a three-dimensional art form and is one of the most
ancient craft practices produced by children's handwork activities. It involves the use of
clay and hands with minimal craft tools" (Naude & Meier 2016:89).
2.3 Pasting various materials, such as newspaper cuttings, photographs, and
fabrics, onto a board
Collage
Collage is defined as "a composition that consists of various materials like newspaper
cuttings, cardboard, photos, fabrics and the like, pasted to a board or canvas" (Naude &
Meier 2016:91).
2.4 Visual expressions are defined more by line and tone than by colour
Drawing
A drawing "can be a complete work, or a type of preparatory sketching for a painting or
sculpture. A central issue in fine art concerns the relative importance of drawing (line)
versus colour" (Naude & Meier 2016:91). Drawings are typically defined by line and tone
rather than colour.
