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:

Analyze each option:

• Option a: Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel, not opposite. Opposite colors are complementary.
• Option b: Monochromatic color scheme uses one color with different shades (black added), tints (white added), and values (lightness/darkness of the hue). The painting in question has different shades, tints and values of blue.
• Option c: While the definition of analogous is correct (hues next to each other on color wheel), the painting does not show analogous colors.
• Option d: The definition describes secondary colors (created by combining primary colors), not the color scheme of the painting.

Answer:

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