Question 1

Pictorial cues for depth are

Accepted Answer

Pictorial cues for depth are monocular because they can be perceived with just one eye. Examples of monocular cues include interposition, relative size, texture gradient, and linear perspective. Binocular cues require both eyes and include stereopsis and convergence. Bodily cues refer to the motion and position of the body, such as motion parallax and proprioception.

Question 2

Special effects for science fiction films create illusions of depth by quickly changing images of the sizes of planets and starships using the pictorial depth cue called

Accepted Answer

Relative size is the pictorial depth cue that creates the illusion of depth by showing smaller objects as farther away and larger objects as closer. This is often used in science fiction films to depict the sizes of planets and starships in relation to each other, creating the illusion of depth and distance in space. Convergence and accommodation are depth cues related to the eyes' focusing and positioning, while linear perspective creates the illusion of depth by portraying parallel lines as converging at a vanishing point. However, none of these cues are specifically used for the quick changes in image sizes commonly seen in science fiction films.

Question 3

The illusion that railroad tracks come together in the distance involves the depth cue of

Accepted Answer

Linear perspective is the depth cue that creates the illusion that parallel lines, such as railroad tracks, converge in the distance. This is achieved through the use of vanishing points and the decreasing size of the lines as they move away from the viewer. Atmospheric perspective refers to the blurring and desaturation of colors as objects recede into the distance due to atmospheric conditions. Texture gradient refers to the diminishing detail and increasing smoothness of textures as they move away from the viewer. Light and shadow can create the illusion of depth by emphasizing the three-dimensional qualities of an object, but it is not specific to the railroad tracks illusion.

Question 4

Which of the following is a monocular depth cue?

Accepted Answer

Accommodation is the monocular depth cue in which the eye's lens changes shape to focus on objects at different distances. The other options are binocular depth cues that are based on the comparison of the images from both eyes.

Question 5

Five-year-old Jay drew a picture of an Easter bunny hiding eggs.He drew a small bunny at the top of the page as if the bunny is hopping away from the large multicolored egg at the bottom of the page.Jay has used which two pictorial cues?

Accepted Answer

Jay has used two types of pictorial cues: relative size (the small bunny at the top compared to the large egg at the bottom) and height in the picture plan (the bunny appears higher up in the picture than the egg). Therefore, the best choice is B.

Question 6

If you stand in the middle of a long, straight stretch of road, it appears as if the sides of the road meet near the horizon.since you known that the sides of the road are parallel, the distance implied is given by the pictorial depth cue of

Accepted Answer

Linear perspective is the pictorial depth cue that applies to the apparent convergence of parallel lines toward a common point, which is known as the vanishing point. In the case of a long, straight stretch of road, the parallel sides seem to converge at the horizon, creating the illusion of depth and distance. This is an example of linear perspective. The other options, atmospheric perspective, texture gradient, and light and shadow, are not applicable to this situation.

Question 7

You are using one eye to look through a microscope.Which of the listed depth cues is available to you?

Accepted Answer

Only overlap is available as a depth cue in this scenario. Stereoscopic vision and retinal disparity require input from both eyes, while perceptual closure is not a depth cue.

Question 8

Interposition is the pictorial depth cue more commonly known as

Accepted Answer

Interposition, also known as overlap, occurs when one object partially covers another object. This gives the impression that the overlapped object is farther away, providing a visual cue for depth perception. The other choices listed are different types of pictorial depth cues.

Question 9

The depth cue that occurs when one object partially blocks another object is known as

Accepted Answer

Interposition occurs when one object partially blocks another object, giving the illusion of depth. Retinal disparity refers to the difference in images received by the left and right eyes, which is used to perceive depth. Linear perspective refers to the convergence of parallel lines in the distance, which creates an illusion of depth. Texture gradients refer to the gradual change in texture as it recedes into the distance, providing a depth cue. However, only interposition specifically involves one object blocking another to create depth perception.

Question 10

The depth cue that occurs when there is an apparent convergence of parallel lines is called

Accepted Answer

Linear perspective occurs when parallel lines appear to converge in the distance.

Question 11

_____ is a monocular cue for depth.

Accepted Answer

Overlap is a monocular cue for depth perception, as it involves one eye and helps determine which objects are closer based on their covering or overlapping of other objects.

Question 12

Which of the following is a monocular depth cue?

Accepted Answer

Monocular depth cues are visual cues that can be perceived with only one eye. Linear perspective is a monocular depth cue that refers to the fact that parallel lines appear to converge as they move further away from the viewer, creating a sense of depth and distance. Retinal disparity, convergence, and divergence are all binocular depth cues that rely on the differences between the images seen by each eye.

Question 13

An artist is sketching a scene.In order to show space, depth, and distance within his drawing, he must use which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Pictorial depth cues are visual techniques used by artists to create the illusion of depth and space on a two-dimensional surface. These cues include things such as linear perspective, overlap, size variation, and atmospheric perspective, and are essential for creating a sense of depth and distance in a drawing or painting. Perceptual expectancy and illusions refer to the way our brains interpret visual information, while pictorial accommodation cues are related to the way our eyes focus on objects at different distances. While these factors may all play a role in the creation of an artwork, pictorial depth cues are specifically related to creating the illusion of space and distance in a two-dimensional image.

Question 14

With which pictorial depth cue does one assume that light comes mainly from one direction and the source of the light is above the pictured object?

Accepted Answer

The pictorial depth cue of light and shadow creates the impression that light is coming from a specific direction, and this can suggest the location of the source of the light (for example, if the object appears to have a shadow that falls below it, viewers may assume that the light is coming from above the object). Retinal disparity refers to differences in the images that each eye receives, interposition involves one object partially covering another to indicate depth, and aerial perspective involves objects in the distance appearing less sharp and less colorful. None of these cues specifically suggest the direction of light.

Question 15

_____ are features found in paintings, drawings, and photographs that supply information about space, depth, and distance.

Accepted Answer

Pictorial depth cues are features found in paintings, drawings, and photographs that supply information about space, depth, and distance. These include overlapping objects, relative size, linear perspective, texture gradient, and aerial perspective. Stereoscopic vision and pictorial accommodation cues are primarily related to the perception of 3D depth in real-life environments, not in 2D images. Figure-ground organization refers to the visual organization of an image into foreground and background elements.

Question 16

When Abby wants to draw a highway so that it appears to be going into the horizon, she makes the parallel lines of the highway converge as it nears the horizon.This illustrates the use of the pictorial depth cue known as

Accepted Answer

Linear perspective is the pictorial depth cue that refers to the phenomenon where the parallel lines appear to converge as they extend into the distance. This technique is often used in art to create the illusion of depth and distance. In this case, Abby is using linear perspective to make the highway appear as if it is going into the horizon. Texture gradient, retinal disparity, and light and shadow are also depth cues, but they are not being used in this scenario.

Question 17

In making a charcoal pencil drawing, which pictorial depth cue could you most effectively use to give a two-dimensional design a three-dimensional appearance?

Accepted Answer

In making a charcoal pencil drawing, the most effective pictorial depth cue to give a two-dimensional design a three-dimensional appearance is the use of light and shadow. By using shading techniques to create the illusion of light and shadow, the artist can give the drawing a sense of depth and volume. This technique is commonly used in still life drawings, portraits, and landscapes to create realistic-looking images. Accommodation, retinal fusion, and convergence are all depth cues related to vision and eye movement, but they are not as relevant in the context of charcoal pencil drawing.

Question 18

The pictorial depth cue regarding objects placed higher (closer to the horizon line) being perceived as more distant is referred to as

Accepted Answer

Height in the picture plane refers to the pictorial depth cue where objects placed higher in the picture, closer to the horizon line, are perceived as being farther away. Linear perspective refers to the convergence of parallel lines, texture gradient refers to the change in texture as objects move farther away, and overlap refers to one object obscuring part of another and being perceived as closer.

Question 19

Sean makes a sketch of his parents' house and front yard.One can tell from the sketch that there is a low hedge in front of a small tree, which is in front of the house because the hedge blocks out part of the tree's trunk and the tree blocks out part of the large picture window on the house.These aforementioned aspects of Sean's sketch demonstrate

Accepted Answer

The fact that the low hedge partially blocks the view of the small tree and the tree partially blocks the view of the large picture window on the house indicates interposition, which is the overlapping of objects in a scene.

Question 20

In Erica's painting, the most distant cacti and rocks appear smaller than the objects she wishes to appear closer to the viewer.This illustrates her use of the pictorial depth cue known as

Accepted Answer

Relative size is a pictorial depth cue where objects that are further away appear smaller than those that are closer, which is what Erica is using in her painting.
