When an artist observes the way light falls on a china plate, she is likely considering the following elements of drawing:
- Shadow: This refers to the darker areas created by the absence of light and how light interacts with the plate's surface.
- Value: This refers to the lightness or darkness of a color, which helps in depicting the light and shadow on the plate and creating depth.
So, the correct responses would be "shadow" and "value." The elements "outline" and "texture" may also be relevant, but they are not as directly related to the observation of light as shadow and value are.
