6. The vanishing point is the eye level of the artist, or the line toward which all horizontal lines appear to converge.
7. What part of a sphere is closest to the viewer’s eye?
8. Why is a mechanical pencil the preferred pencil in technical drawing?

ARTS 211 Quiz 5: Basic Value Scale

1. The recommended way to begin a drawing of a dark piece of drapery, after establishing the basic shape of the piece of fabric as a whole is to block in a value to represent the local color of the fabric, and then draw in the lines for the folds.
2. What happens to the reflections of objects on a curved surface?
3. What is the name for the starburst effect in the highlights of reflective surfaces?
4. The difference between the way light reacts when it hits a polished surface and when it hits a dull surface is that when light hits a polished surface, most of it bounces off or is reflected. When light hits a dull surface, more of the light is absorbed, so that less light bounces off.
5. Which of the basic shapes is created by hanging fabric that has not been creased?
6. You can tell if the texture of the fabric you’re looking at is reflective because the edges between light and shadow areas are blurred and difficult to dene.
7. The values in the reflections you draw always be darker than the highlights of the reflective object because reflected light is always brighter than direct light because the object being reflected does not absorb the light.
8. Which of the basic shapes is created by creased fabric?
9. At what point in your drawing should you render any pattern in the fabric?
10. What is the greatest danger in drawing such a starburst?

1. You will find the biggest directional energy change in the body in the arms.
2. One of the fundamental laws of Physics affecting the human figure is that for every action, there is a reaction. So if there is action on one side of the body, there will be another action on the other side to keep it in balance.
3. Which of the four basic shapes predominates in the human figure?
4. The best way to quickly establish the volume of the figure is to take it piece by piece.
5. In addition to knowledge of the ideal proportions of the head, what techniques are used to capture an accurate likeness?
6. What is the midpoint of the average human figure when standing?
7. In Figure Drawing, the energy or the essence of the pose if referring to:
8. How many heads high is the average or ideal human figure when standing?
9. is a variation of linear perspective, in which objects that are close appear larger than objects that are farther away.
10. The two basic shapes found in the hands and feet are a rectangular shape for the palm and foot and cylinders for the fingers and toes.

1. While you reproduce your face, your choice of media and the variety of marks help convey your internal likeness.
