cross - hatching provides an illusion of various __(1), while impasto provides an illusion of (2)__.
a. (1) depths; (2) tone\t\t\t\tc. (1) shadows; (2) light
b. (1) distances; (2) definition\t\td. (1) values; (2) depth

please select the best answer from the choices provided

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the art - related techniques:

• Cross - hatching: In drawing, cross - hatching is a technique that is mainly used to create the illusion of different values (the relative lightness or darkness of a color or area). By varying the density of the cross - hatched lines, artists can show different shades, which are related to values.
• Impasto: Impasto is a painting technique where paint is laid on the surface in very thick layers. This thick application of paint creates a three - dimensional effect, and thus gives the illusion of depth.

Now let's analyze each option:

• Option a: Cross - hatching is not mainly for creating depths, and impasto is not for creating tone. So this option is incorrect.
• Option b: Cross - hatching is not about creating distances, and impasto is not for creating definition. So this option is incorrect.
• Option c: Cross - hatching is not mainly for creating shadows (it's more about values), and impasto is not for creating light. So this option is incorrect.
• Option d: Cross - hatching creates the illusion of various values, and impasto creates the illusion of depth. This option matches the characteristics of the two techniques.

Answer:

d. (1) values; (2) depth
