To have balance you must have the same number of objects on both sides.
True
False
What is the correct method to balance a large object and a small object on the same canvas? (choose all that apply)
move the large object closer to the fulcrum (center of composition)
add more small objects to the small object side
move the small object closer to the fulcrum (center of composition)
Smaller objects have less "visual weight" than larger ones?
True
False
The design principle emphasis is based on basic physics.
True
False
Emphasis can only be achieved with the use of bright colors.
True
False
How can emphasis be achieved? (Mark all that apply)
Value contrast
Color contrast
Detail contrast
Depth of field (sharpness and blurriness)
Emphasis is a method used to achieve clarity and order in a composition.
True
False
Objects of reference are important in a work of art in order for the viewer to determine scale.
True
False
Overlapping is the only effective way to communicate spatial relationships between objects.
True
False
Overlapping same sized objects is and effective way to communicate scale.
True
False
A character's proportions do not effect the perceived personality of the character.
True
False
Which of the following can be used to help guide the viewers eye to the most important part(s) of a composition? (mark all that apply).
Motion
Emphasis
Contrast
Motion is an inherently invisible.
True
False
Direction of motion in a work of art is not important.
True
False
Using repeated elements in a work of art creates visual rhythm for the viewer.
True
False
Foreground and background objects should always contain the same amount of detail.
True
False
Shape repetition should be limited to objects of a single type.
True
False
Use of rhythm and repetition is an ineffective way to achieve continuity in a work of art.
True
False
This design principle is used to describe a composition that is equally weighted and comprised of very differently sized objects on both sides.
Proper Balance
Symmetric Balance
Asymmetric Balance
This design principle is used to define a composition that is equally weighted with similarly sized objects on both sides.
Symmetric Balance
Asymmetric Balance
Proper Balance
