Question

this painting is by pablo picasso, entitled the blind mans meal. what type of color scheme did picasso use and its definition?
a. he used a analogous color scheme, which occurs when the hues used are directly opposite one another on the color wheel.
b. he used a monochromatic color scheme, which occurs when one color predominates,shades of black, tints of white, values of a hue.
c. he used a analogous color scheme, which occurs when the hues used are next to one another on the color wheel.
d. he used a monochromatic color scheme, which occurs when the hues used are created by combining equal parts of two primary colors.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Analogous colors are adjacent on the color wheel, not opposite (opposite is complementary). So a is wrong.
• Option b: The painting uses various shades/tints of blue (one color predominates), which matches monochromatic (one color with black/white variations). The definition here is correct for monochromatic.
• Option c: The painting isn't using adjacent hues (analogous) but variations of one color, so c is wrong.
• Option d: Combining two primary colors gives secondary colors, not monochromatic. So d is wrong.

Answer:

b. He used a monochromatic color scheme, which occurs when one color predominates,shades of black, tints of white, values of a hue.
