This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Birghtness of dullness of a color






2. Where things on either side of the center line are almost alike or identical






3. Three equally spaced colors on the color wheel






4. Texture you can actually feel






5. Colors found side by side on the color wheel; always contians one common color






6. The areas around the positive space - usually the background






7. What makes the art feel complete because everything seems to be in harmony and work together






8. Black - gray - white - brown - tan - beige






9. An area that is contained within an implied line or is seen and identified because of color or value changes; have two dimensions - length and width - and can be geometric or free form - organic






10. Where things on either side of the center line are almost alike or identical






11. Describes the feel of a n actual surface - 2 types: actual - and implied.






12. Texture you can actually feel






13. The actual object - or subject matter






14. Where both sides are not the same - one side is vicually heavier than the other






15. Colors that make you feel warm: red - yellow - and orange






16. Colors that make you feel cool: blue - green - and violet






17. The same shapes of elements are repeated again and again






18. A mark made by a pointed tool and is often defined by a moving dot; can vary in width - direction - curvature - length - and even color; often suggests movement in a drawing or a painting






19. Three equally spaced colors on the color wheel






20. What makes the art feel complete because everything seems to be in harmony and work together






21. Mixing one primary color and an adjacent secondary color






22. Adding white to a color to make it lighter






23. Red - yellow - and blue; from those three colors - all others can be made - but no other color can make these three






24. You need light in order to see color; color has three properties: hue - value - intensity






25. Adding black to a color to make it darker






26. Refers to the arragement of elements on either side of a center line: symmetrical - asymmetrical - and radial






27. Colors found side by side on the color wheel; always contians one common color






28. Adding white to a color to make it lighter






29. One color and the colors on both sides of its complement






30. Orange - green - and violet; made from mixing two primary colors together






31. Looks like texture - but is actually on smooth - flat paper






32. Birghtness of dullness of a color






33. The areas above - below - around - or within something - 2 types: positive and negative






34. Where both sides are not the same - one side is vicually heavier than the other






35. Refers to the arragement of elements on either side of a center line: symmetrical - asymmetrical - and radial






36. Opposites on the color wheel; if mixed - dullness is increased






37. Repetition of the elements that help unify the surface and create a feeling of organization






38. A mark made by a pointed tool and is often defined by a moving dot; can vary in width - direction - curvature - length - and even color; often suggests movement in a drawing or a painting






39. Opposites on the color wheel; if mixed - dullness is increased






40. How your eye is carried through a work of art - visual movement - through repitition of lines - shapes - color - etc.






41. An area that is contained within an implied line or is seen and identified because of color or value changes; have two dimensions - length and width - and can be geometric or free form - organic






42. Refers to differences in values - colors - or other art elements






43. Looks like texture - but is actually on smooth - flat paper






44. Adding black to a color to make it darker






45. Repetition of the elements that help unify the surface and create a feeling of organization






46. The areas above - below - around - or within something - 2 types: positive and negative






47. Where the design radiates through a central point






48. The same shapes of elements are repeated again and again
