5th Grade Quiz Study Guide

5th Grade 4th Quarter Quiz: Study Guide
  • ·         You will be expected to remember the elements of art we have learned throughout the year: line (organic, or natural, and inorganic, or manmade), pattern, color, shape, value.
  • ·         Be prepared to answer basic color theory questions (primary, complimentary, which are across from each other on the color wheel, analogous, which are next to each other, and the difference between warm/cool colors).
  • ·         You will be asked review questions about our last two projects: Our Wing of Blue Roller imitated the work of Albrect Durer, who was known for his hyper detailed paintings of animals. He was well known for his work in wood cut prints, water colors, and oil paints. He used an opaque paint called gouache to add fine detail to his transparent water color paintings. In our Japanese Wood Cut Print project, we talked about how wood cut prints were used as early as 764 to make the reproduction of text and image faster, cheaper and easier. We used the reference image Woman Admiring Plum Blossoms at Night by Suzuki Harunobu, ca. 1765 to direct our project.
  • ·         You will also be asked some cumulative review questions from the year. Make sure you are familiar with the definitions for: self portraits, focal points, one point perspective, controposto, and the difference between visual and tactile texture.


Happy Studying!
