1. What is the difference between representational and nonrepresentational art? Give an example of each.
- Representational art is art that depicts recognizable
objects or scenes from the natural or human-made world,
such as landscapes, portraits, or still lifes. Nonrepresentational art is art that does not aim to represent any
specific object or scene, but rather expresses the artist's
feelings, ideas, or sensations through abstract forms, colors,
or textures. An example of representational art is The
Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh, which shows a view of
the night sky over a village. An example of nonrepresentational art is Composition with Red, Blue and
Yellow by Piet Mondrian, which consists of geometric
shapes and primary colors.
- Rationale: This question tests the students' ability to
identify and distinguish different types of art based on their
visual characteristics and intentions.
2. What are the three main components of formal analysis
in art? Explain each one briefly.
- The three main components of formal analysis are
elements, principles, and media. Elements are the basic
visual units of an artwork, such as line, shape, color, value,
texture, and space. Principles are the ways that the
elements are arranged or organized in an artwork, such as
balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, rhythm, unity, and
variety. Media are the materials and tools that the artist
uses to create the artwork, such as paint, clay, wood, metal,Â
