Question

An artist paints a scene with a large mountain, which lacks detail and is out of focus, and a tree, which is sharply defined and bright green. The viewer might assume that the mountain is ________ than the tree.

Answer 1

The viewer might assume that the mountain is closer than the tree.

Explanation:

• In order to depict a scene in a picture as it appears to the eyes, the artist uses various tricks and traits to create the scene as it is.
• One such trick is that of the separation of the foreground and the background.
• In order to show that the background and the foreground are far away from each other, the artist chooses to paint the objects in the background a little too blurred and the objects in the foreground a little too sharp.
