Answer 1

Here are the answers to your questions:

9. What principle of art would you use if you wanted to add interest by including contrasts to your drawing? A) Emphasis
   (Emphasis is often achieved through contrast, drawing attention to a specific area of the artwork.)

10. If an artist applies the Golden Mean to the subject that he is drawing, what is likely to result? A) Subject will look proportionally correct
    (The Golden Mean is often used to create aesthetically pleasing proportions.)

11. What is the ratio of the Golden Mean? C) 1 to 1.6
    (The ratio, commonly referred to as the Golden Ratio, is approximately 1:1.618.)

12. Which of the following is true about Divine Proportion? Select all that apply. A) It can be observed when looking at a church.
    B) It can be observed when looking at a real flower.
    C) It can be observed when looking at a sea shell.
    (These options highlight examples where the Divine Proportion or Golden Ratio can occur in nature and architecture.)
    D) It can be observed when looking at water. (This is less direct and might be considered more subjective, as water does not inherently showcase the Divine Proportion; however, it might appear in the form of reflection or flow patterns in certain contexts.)

For clarity: A, B, and C are the most straightforward examples of Divine Proportion.
