Eduqas GCSE Art and Design visual language and formal elements overview quiz quiz

Only line and colour

Line, tone, colour, shape, form, texture, pattern and composition

The two components and four objectives

Sketchbook, easel, paint and brush

Nothing else

Describe form (weight and density), create texture (mark type) and suggest movement (direction)

Only fill space

Only measure objects

To use more pencil

The full range (highlight to core shadow and reflected light) makes a form turn and read as solid

Two tones are banned

It is faster

Brighter colours

A believable illusion of form, because highlights and shadows agree about the light source

A larger image

A faster finish

Red, yellow and blue

Hue, tone and saturation

Warm, cool and neutral

Light, medium and dark

Create a calm, unified effect

Create maximum contrast and vibrancy

Cancel each other out completely

Always look muddy

They cannot

Warm colours tend to advance and cool colours to recede, so warm foreground and cool distance push space back

By making everything brighter

By using only primary colours

There is none

Shape is two-dimensional (height and width); form is three-dimensional (height, width and depth)

Shape is coloured; form is not

Form is flat; shape is solid

There is none

Real texture is an actual tactile surface; visual texture is the illusion of texture through mark-making

Real texture is only in photographs

Visual texture must be 3D

By borrowing a generic pattern

By developing a personal pattern from recorded shapes and using it to create rhythm, unity or meaning

By covering the whole page

Pattern is never useful

Nothing; it is just the frame

Arranges the elements within the format and organises all the others to lead the eye and carry meaning

Only sets the size

Only chooses the colours

It does not

It is made dominant by contrast, detail or isolation, and leading lines guide the eye to it

By being dead centre always

By using the brightest colour everywhere
