Question

Which statement is true with respect to the use of light and shadow to create depth in a composition? A. objects of similar size should have the same lighting B. farther away objects should be near the margins C. nearer objects should seem bigger D. farther away objects should create sharp shadows E. nearer objects should reflect more light

Answer 1

C. nearer objects should seem bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to create the illusion of the object being in front and having the depth of perspective, an object that is nearer to the artist should appear bigger on the picture or the painting.

Statements A and D are concerned with the position of the lighting and where it comes from, and what does it reflect on. B is simply not true, because the position in relation to margin has to do with composition the artist is painting, not the fact if the object is near or far. E has to do with the lighting, but also the material of the object and its color.
