Read the following glossary to answer items 9- 21.

 Art criticism generally consists of four stages: description, analysis, interpretation,

and evaluation. Evaluation is the last stage. Evaluating artworks means judging
them for their artistic value. The evaluation stage of art criticism is most likely to
sound like a judgment or opinion. Review 2 evaluates Sillman's work positively,
calling it "refreshing and uplifting," and "a playful and delightful treat."
 Reading about the history of ancient Greece will give students a good
foundational understanding of that culture so that when they study Mycenaean
pottery iconography they will better be able to see the connection between art
creation and the cultures in which art is created.
 According to the Indiana Academic Standards for Visual Arts, tie-dye is a
recommended medium and process "appropriate for a grade band of Grade 6
through Grade 8."
 Bright light on parts of the figure's garments and skin contrasts strongly with the
dark background of the composition. Such contrast of light and dark is
characteristic of tenebrism, a technique introduced by Caravaggio during the
Renaissance.
 Italian Baroque art developed during the Counter Reformation period in Europe
when the Catholic Church sought to regain influence and constituents it had lost
during the Protestant Reformation. The church tried to attract practitioners
through sensual, awe-inspiring artworks.
 Turkish carpets created during the Ottoman era feature the floral designs and
patterns seen here that are characteristic of Islamic art throughout the world. The
carpet also features two floral columns within a central shape that forms the
outline of a mihrab, a prayer niche typical of mosques.
 Blue and red are primary colors. Mixing primary colors results in secondary
colors. Violet is the secondary color that results from mixing blue and red in equal
proportion.
 According to OSHA, informational safety sheets must be present in art rooms
that contain hazardous chemicals.
 In Gothic architecture, flying buttresses are exterior half arches that support the
outward thrust of the roof or interior vaults of cathedrals. Studying flying
buttresses would help students understand concepts of physics such as thrust,
force, and mass.
 The mask appears to depict a human face but the face is not rendered in a
realistic manner. Rather, its shape is abstract and stylized.
 Polarizing filters are used to filter out reflections and glare. In the photograph, the
blues in the sky are pure and vivid because the polarizing filter diminished
polarized light waves that would otherwise have reduced the color saturation of
the sky.
 The rise of Modernism in the early twentieth century ushered in a new approach
to artmaking and art criticism. Modernists sought new forms of expression and
rejected the notion that art had to be beautiful. Definitions of art have continued
to devalue beauty for beauty's sake into the twenty-first century.
 The Mannerist style of painting featured eccentric treatment of subject matter and
themes, clashing colors, and elongated proportions of figures.
 Corporate curators acquire artworks and display them in corporate offices. They
also keep track of corporate collections. Because of these job responsibilities,
corporate curators need to have a knack for working with people who have a
limited knowledge of art, they need to be skilled at and enjoy installing art, and
they need to have skills in using electronic databases. The latter is important for
keeping track of collections.
