Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. With this technique, artists can create different values by making a pattern of dots. What is it?

Answer: stippling

The distance between dots determines how dark the shading will be -the more densely clustered the dots, the darker the shading.
2. This technique consists of placing lines closely side by side. What is it?

Answer: hatching

Like stippling, hatching is a type of shading.
3. This is a water-based, opaque paint that is similar to school-quality tempera, but is of higher quality. What is it?

Answer: gouache

Gouache has more body and dries more slowly than watercolor paint. It is a good medium for creating bright colors and meticulous details and is often used for design and fine artwork.
4. This is a process in which an image is drawn with a waxy pencil or crayon directly on a plate, which can be made of zinc, stone, or aluminum.

Answer: lithography

Lithography can be a complex and demanding process, but in contrast to woodcut and engraving, does not require special professional training. Anyone who can draw can make a lithograph.
5. This is the combination of pieces of cloth, magazines and other found objects to create artwork.

Answer: collage

The term "collage" is derived from a French word meaning "paste up."
