Answer 4

An image of a landscape. There is a mountain in the background, with a snow-capped peak. There is a line of clouds dividing the top and bottom of the mountain. The very bottom of the mountain connects to the ground and there are trees along this line. Starting at the bottom of the page, there is a winding dirt road with lines identifying the outer edge. The road disappears as it reaches the bottom of the mountain.

the edges of the dirt road
the edges of the dirt road

Answer 5

The best description of the horizon line in this image would be:

the bottom of the mountain with trees.

The horizon line typically represents the point where the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet, which in this landscape context would be at the base of the mountain where it connects with the ground and the trees are located.

Responses

Use no vanishing point.
Use no vanishing point.

Create a value change from the background to foreground.
Create a value change from the background to foreground.

Make the background imagery as large as the foreground imagery.
Make the background imagery as large as the foreground imagery.

Create minimal texture changes on the various surfaces.
Create minimal texture changes on the various surfaces.

Answer 7

The best response to how the artist would ensure that the background imagery appears to be in the distance is:

Create a value change from the background to foreground.

Value change helps create a sense of depth, as objects in the distance typically have lighter values and less contrast compared to objects in the foreground. This technique effectively gives the illusion of space and distance in the artwork.
