Because of the use of value change in this image, the artist
a was able to make the image have no contrast
b was able to emphasize only one minute area of the drawing
c was able to create the illusion of depth
d was able to create no difference in textures
c) was able to create the illusion of depth
The correct answer is c) was able to create the illusion of depth.
The use of value change, which refers to the difference in lightness and darkness of the colors used, allows the artist to create a sense of depth in the image. By strategically using different values and shading techniques, the artist can make objects in the image appear to be closer or farther away, giving the illusion of three-dimensional space.
The answer to this question is c) was able to create the illusion of depth.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the options. The question mentions the use of value change in the image. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of colors. By manipulating the values, an artist can create the illusion of depth and dimension in a two-dimensional image.
Option a) states that the artist was able to make the image have no contrast. However, value change inherently brings contrast to an image, as it creates a range of light and dark tones.
Option b) suggests that the artist was able to emphasize only one minute area of the drawing. While value change can be used to highlight particular areas, it alone does not limit the focus to only one spatial area.
Option d) claims that the artist was able to create no difference in textures. While value change can affect the appearance of textures, it is not solely responsible for completely eliminating texture differences.
Therefore, the most appropriate answer is c) was able to create the illusion of depth. By using variations in lightness and darkness, the artist can make objects in the image appear closer or farther away, creating a sense of depth in the composition.
