118. B: If the class unit is on space travel, then an art activity of constructing models of rocket ships would integrate art thematically into the curriculum more than painting portraits of classmates (A), exploring different art materials all in one color (C), or using art work to express their feelings (D) would. Assigning art projects focused on the same themes that are central to their curriculum units and/or lessons is one way that teachers can integrate art across academic content areas.

119. C: Japanese bowls made for the traditional tea ceremony is an example of art that serves a physical purpose. Photography by Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, Arthur Rothstein, Walker Evans, and others, commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during the Great Depression, showed the extreme poverty, hunger, and suffering of many people; this is an example of art that serves a social purpose. Da Vinci’s “Last Supper” (B) painting, like many other artworks with religious themes, is an example of art that serves a personal purpose. Satire in art, like some of Goya’s works (D), is an example of art that serves a social purpose.

120. A: In the process of creating art, the artist first imagines what ideas and feelings s/he wants to express. Then s/he plans how to do this by researching, experimenting with, and designing the materials and forms to use and how to work with them to accomplish the results desired. The artist then creates an artistic product, evaluates how effective it is and how satisfied s/he is with it, and refines the product based on the evaluation. Once the artist is satisfied with the product, s/he then presents it to an audience of others who can participate with and respond to it.

121. D: Form in visual art represents the three-dimensional projection of shape. It has dimension and volume; in three-dimensional artworks like sculptures, form has actual mass. In two-dimensional artworks like drawings and paintings, form does not have real mass; however, it can appear to have mass through the artist’s visual techniques. Shapes in art may be positive, i.e., defined by outlines; or negative, i.e., defined only by the edges of surrounding shapes (A). Biomorphic shapes are shapes seen in nature. While some shapes found in nature can be geometric, like circles, ovals, and stars (e.g., starfish), many biomorphic shapes are not perfectly geometric or geometric at all (B). Value in visual art is not dependent on color (C); value means the range of lights and darks in the artwork, no matter what colors are or are not used.

122. B: Green is a secondary color because it is produced by mixing the two primary colors blue and yellow. Yellow (A), blue (C), and red (D) are the only primary colors. Green, orange, and purple are the secondary colors. Orange is made by mixing red and yellow. Purple is made by mixing blue and red.

123. B: Complementary colors are found opposite or across from each other on the color wheel. Complementary colors
