Answer 2

Question 4: Bottom of the mountain with trees. This is the correct answer.

Answer 3

1. **What step did the artist clearly use when drawing this image?**
- **Response:** two vanishing points

2. **Because of the use of value change in this image, the artist**
- **Response:** was able to create the illusion of depth.

3. **Which of the following questions would best help you analyze this painting during your critique?**
- **Response:** How did the artist use vanishing point(s) and orthogonal lines?

4. **Which of the following best describes the horizon line in this image?**
- **Response:** the top of the mountain

5. **How would the artist ensure that the background imagery appears to be in the distance?**
- **Response:** Create a value change from the background to foreground.

Answer 4

Yes, let’s go through each question again to ensure the answers are clear:

1. **What step did the artist clearly use when drawing this image?**
- **Response:** **two vanishing points** – This indicates the use of perspective drawing, which typically involves one or more vanishing points.

2. **Because of the use of value change in this image, the artist**
- **Response:** **was able to create the illusion of depth.** – Value changes help in creating a sense of depth and dimension in artwork.

3. **Which of the following questions would best help you analyze this painting during your critique?**
- **Response:** **How did the artist use vanishing point(s) and orthogonal lines?** – This question focuses on the technical aspects of perspective, which is crucial for analysis.

4. **Which of the following best describes the horizon line in this image?**
- **Response:** **the top of the mountain** – Usually, the horizon line is where the sky meets the land, but without seeing the artwork, this option seems plausible if the mountain is central to the composition.

5. **How would the artist ensure that the background imagery appears to be in the distance?**
- **Response:** **Create a value change from the background to foreground.** – This technique effectively helps to render depth and distance in two-dimensional artwork.

If there are specifics you're uncertain about, please let me know, and I can clarify further!

Answer 5

Thank you for your patience and for pointing that out! Given that context, **the horizon line would indeed likely be described as "the bottom of the mountain with trees,"** especially if that's where the terrain meets the sky in the image.

So to summarize with your correction:

4. **Which of the following best describes the horizon line in this image?**
- **Correct Response:** **the bottom of the mountain with trees.**
