Question

what changes as a shadow moves outward?
the shadows texture

the shadows light source

the shadows value

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• The shadow’s texture: Texture refers to the surface quality (e.g., smooth, rough) of the shadowed area. Moving a shadow outward (changing its position relative to the light source and object) does not alter its texture.
• The shadow’s light source: The light source is the origin of light (e.g., sun, lamp). Moving the shadow outward does not change the light source itself.
• The shadow’s value: In art (and optics related to shadows), "value" refers to the lightness or darkness of a shadow. As a shadow moves outward (e.g., due to the object or light source moving, or the shadow extending), the intensity of light hitting the shadowed area changes, which affects its value (how light or dark it appears). For example, a shadow closer to an object might be darker (lower value), and as it moves outward, it can become lighter (higher value) due to more ambient light or less direct blocking.

Answer:

the shadow's value
