1. False: Balance can be formal or symmetrical, but it can also be informal or asymmetrical. Formal or symmetrical balance occurs when the visual weight of elements is evenly distributed on both sides of an imaginary central axis. Informal or asymmetrical balance occurs when the visual weight is distributed unevenly but still creates a sense of balance.
2. True: Rhythm, movement, proportion, and balance are all considered elements of art. These elements help create visual interest, harmony, and organization in an artwork.
3. True: The elements of art and principles of design are indeed interrelated. The elements of art, such as line, shape, color, texture, and form, are the basic building blocks of any artwork. The principles of design, including balance, rhythm, unity, emphasis, and proportion, provide guidelines for how to use the elements effectively to create a cohesive and visually pleasing composition.
4. True: A good judgment in a work of art involves understanding and interpreting what the artist is trying to convey. It goes beyond simply observing the visual elements and principles of design. It involves analyzing the artwork's meaning, symbolism, and intended message.
5. False: Shape can be a closed plane figure. In fact, a shape is defined as a closed two-dimensional area with a specific outline or boundary. Shapes can be geometric (such as squares, circles, and triangles) or organic (irregular and flowing).
