A person in a red robe stands in an area covered in brown leaves. There are rows of gray columns on each side of the person. A) Many different techniques can be used to attract the viewer's attention. What element of art was used in this image to create emphasis on the girl?

The correct answer is color. The use of a red robe against the brown leaves creates contrast and draws the viewer's attention to the person in the red robe.
In order to determine the element of art that was used in this image to create emphasis on the girl, we need to analyze the visual cues provided in the description.
First, the person in a red robe standing in an area covered in brown leaves immediately draws our attention. The contrasting colors of the red robe against the brown leaves create a strong visual impact, leading us to consider color as a potential element.
Next, the mention of rows of gray columns on each side of the person provides additional visual information. However, the description does not specify any particular patterns or shapes that could be related to curved lines, so we can exclude that option.
Lastly, the question offers two options: texture and negative space. Texture refers to the visual or tactile quality of a surface, which is not clearly described in the given image. On the other hand, negative space refers to the empty or unoccupied area surrounding the main subject, creating a visual contrast and emphasizing the subject.
Considering these factors, the element of art that was likely used in this image to create emphasis on the girl is color. The contrasting colors of the red robe against the brown leaves attract the viewer's attention to the person wearing the robe.

to give a feeling within the piece that all elements are working together in a similar manner
The correct answer is: to give a feeling within the piece that all elements are working together in a similar manner. Harmony in artwork refers to the pleasing arrangement and combination of elements, such as color, shape, and texture. By using harmony, an artist can create a sense of unity and balance within the artwork, where all the elements work together harmoniously to create a cohesive and visually pleasing composition.

using a vanishing point to guide the orthogonal lines.
The correct answer is: using a vertical line to establish where the sky and ground meet.
In perspective drawings, a vertical line is not used to establish where the sky and ground meet. Instead, perspective drawings use a horizontal line, called the horizon line, to represent where the sky and ground meet. The vertical line is used to establish the height and position of objects in relation to the ground.

use patterns of color in the background to emphasize light showing through the leaves.
The correct answer is: change all organic shapes to geometric shapes to create a cubist portrait.
In a harmonious image, the elements are typically working together in a cohesive and balanced manner. Changing all organic shapes to geometric shapes, as seen in a cubist portrait, would disrupt the sense of harmony and create a more fragmented and abstract composition.
A coastal scene is shown. A group of people are standing by the water, while a ship sails in the background. There are also animals and buildings featured on the coast line.

The correct answer is: rhythm and movement.
Contrasting colors in the water can create a sense of rhythm and movement in the image. This is because the juxtaposition of different colors and tones can imply the flow of waves and currents, adding a dynamic quality to the water in the coastal scene.

The correct answer is radial balance.
In the given description, a street in Ukraine is depicted with a car in the center and buildings on each side of the street. The principles of design that are present in this description are variety, proportion, and perspective.
Variety refers to the use of different elements in the artwork to create interest and contrast. Proportion refers to the size relationships between different elements within the artwork. Perspective refers to the technique used to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space.
Radial balance, on the other hand, is a principle of design where elements radiate from a central point. However, based on the given description, there is no mention of any radial arrangement or elements radiating from a central point. Therefore, the correct answer is radial balance.

The correct answer is line.
In the given description, the artist used thick black paint drizzled and splattered on a canvas. This technique of drizzling and splattering creates various lines on the canvas. The paint can form long, curving lines where it drips or splattered spots can create short, jagged lines. Therefore, the use of thick paint drizzled on a canvas is primarily used to create different lines in the artwork.

The correct answer is lining up the bottom of the mouth with the tops of the ears.
In the given description, the artist used various techniques to show proportion in the image of a woman laughing and looking back at the viewer. The description mentions lining the corners of the mouth up with the center of the eyes and lining up the sides of the nose with the inside corners of the eyes. However, there is no mention of lining up the bottom of the mouth with the tops of the ears. Therefore, this is the element that the artist did not use to show proportion in this image.

The correct answer is asymmetrical balance.
In the given description of the image "Regatta on the Grand Canal in Honor of Frederick IV, King of Denmark" by Luca Carlevarijis, the elements and principles present are perspective, movement, and variety.
Perspective refers to the technique used to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space in the image. Movement is suggested by the presence of boats and many people in the canal scene, implying activity and action. Variety is seen in the representation of different boats, people, and elements throughout the image.
However, there is no mention of asymmetrical balance in the description. Asymmetrical balance refers to a sense of equilibrium achieved through the visual weight of elements that are not evenly distributed. Since this image does not indicate an intentionally asymmetrical composition, the correct answer is asymmetrical balance.
