QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT SOLUTIONS
VERIFIED
◉ Wedging. Answer: is a process similar to kneading dough, it
loosens the clay circulating its moisture throughout.
◉ Scoring. Answer: Process of incising shallow grooves into surface
of wet or leather hard clay in cross-hatch pattern before applying
slurry and joining pieces.
◉ INSULATING FIREBRICK; IFB; SOFTBRICK. Answer: Porous
firebrick with insulating values much higher than hardbrick.
◉ Hardbrick. Answer: Hard, dense firebrick generally used
only in high-stress areas of kiln (floor,
burner ports, flues, bagwall) and for corrosive
firing processes (salt, soda, wood).
◉ Fire clay. Answer: Highly refractory secondary clays with minimal
fluxes and usually fairly coarse particle size - Low shrinkage, buff-
color,
,often non-plastic.
◉ Greenware. Answer: unfired pottery or sculpture
◉ Plastalina. Answer: Modeling clay What kind of harmful substance
does plastalina have in it?----sulfur
◉ Intaglio. Answer: design engraved by making cuts in a surface,
into which the incised figure is sunk: a steel needle for engraving on
a bare copper plate without acid
◉ Aquatint. Answer: a print resembling a watercolor, produced from
a copper plate etched with nitric acid.
◉ Photogravure. Answer: an image produced from a photographic
negative transferred to a metal plate and etched in.
◉ Dry point. Answer: a steel needle for engraving on a bare copper
plate without acid
◉ aperture. Answer: is a circle-shaped opening in a lens (a hole,
really) through which light passes to strike the film. The size of the
aperture is expressed as an f-number, like f/8 or f/11.
, ◉ Daguerrotype process. Answer: An obsolete photographic process
in which a picture made on a silver surface is sensitized with iodine;
and developed by exposure to mercury vapor.
◉ Depth of Field. Answer: the distance between the nearest and the
furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.
◉ Shutter Speed. Answer: The amount of time the shutter inside the
camera is open to expose your photo.
◉ film speed. Answer: A measurement of film's sensitivity to light.
More sensitive (faster) films have higher ISO numbers and require
less exposure in order to make a properly-exposed picture.
◉ Encaustic. Answer: A painting technique in which pigment is
mixed with wax and applied to the surface while hot.
◉ Paint Extender. Answer: product that extends the drying
time, and paint.
◉ fat over lean principle. Answer: Oil painting technique where each
layer of paint contains more oil than the one below
