C) scale, form
D) place, orientation
E) form, scale



7.  Space is the partner to ____________.
A)  Volume
B)  Line
C)  Negative space
D)  Substance
E)  Light

8.  An elevation is … (not defined in the book, but take a guess after looking at orthographic 
     projections).
A) a slice of an object.
B) a side view.
C) a top view.
D) a bottom view.
E) an entire orthographic projection.

9.  Primary contours are _____, and secondary contours are _____.

A) saturation.
B) hue.
C) value.
D) temperature.
E) intensity.

11.  Describe the relationship between Form and Function that exists when designing an object.  Give an example.
form follows function, such as the area of your butt and legs is predominately rectangular, so is the seat of a chair. 




12.  How can negative space play an integral role in 3-dimensional design?  How is it significant?
it can provide a sense of depth and separation between elements of a design. it is significant because without negative space, everything would be jumbled onto one plane.




13.  What are 3 significant roles that color can play in a 3-dimensional design?
can push a certain object forward or backward in the viewers eye
can cause certain elements to blend together or stand apart
elevates the design above the ambient background
