Who wrote the book "De Coloribus" and established that all colors were derived from different mixtures of sunlight, firelight, air and water? Newton Da Vinci Le Blen & Harris Aristotle Color theory is rooted in antiquity, with early musings on color in Aristotle's (d. 322 BCE) On Colors (Latin De Coloribus). The work outlines the theory that all colors (yellow, red, purple, blue, and green) are derived from mixtures of black and white. On colors had a pronounced impact on subsequent color theories and remained influential until Isaac Newton's experiments with light refraction. Who developed one of the first full-color circles, which spaced the primaries at equal distances from one another? Munsell Le Blon Moses Harris Geothe EXPLANATION:In 1766 the scientist Moses Harris created the first color wheel to classify Red, Yellow, and Blue as the primary colors. Moses Harris worked with paint (Newton worked with light) following a theory (by a French painter) that all colors are mixtures of Red, Yellow, and Blue pigments. One of the distinctive architectural characters of the Hoysalas of Karnataka is: Chaitya style plan Roman style plan Greek style plan Star-Shaped plan One of the distinctive features of Hoysala architecture is the star-shaped ground plan of many of their temples. These star-shaped temples have multiple shrines placed symmetrically, creating a unique and intricate layout. The Hoysalas primarily used soapstone (chloritic schist) as their primary building material. Which one of the following is NOT an example of basic design ordering principles? Datum Rhythm Scale Symmetry The Eight principles of order are listed below: Axis, Symmetry, Hierarchy, Transformation, Datum, Rhythm, Pattern, and Repetition. Which one of the following does NOT represent a visual art movement? Prism Impressionism Cezanne Minimalism Impressionism developed in France in the nineteenth century and is based on the practice of painting out of doors and spontaneously 'on the spot' rather than in a studio from sketches. Main impressionist subjects were landscapes and scenes of everyday life. Cezanne is now known as a Post-Impressionist and called 'the father of modern art' because he showed how free art could really be. Minimalism is an extreme form of abstract art developed in the USA in the 1960s and typified by artworks composed of simple geometric shapes based on the square and the rectangle. Congratulations!
