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.
