Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the rule of thirds?

  1. A compositional guideline that divides the image into thirds, both horizontally and vertically
  2. A rule that states that the most important element of the image should be placed in the center

Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is symmetry?

  1. A compositional technique that uses balance and repetition to create a sense of order and harmony
  2. A compositional technique that uses asymmetry to create a sense of tension and excitement
  3. A compositional technique that uses leading lines to create a sense of depth
  4. A compositional technique that uses framing to create a sense of focus
Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is framing?

  1. A compositional technique that uses elements in the foreground to create a sense of depth
  2. A compositional technique that uses elements in the background to create a sense of context
  3. A compositional technique that uses elements in the middle ground to create a sense of focus
  4. A compositional technique that uses elements in the foreground, background, and middle ground to create a sense of unity

Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

How can the rule of thirds be used to improve the composition of an architectural photograph?

  1. By placing the main subject along one of the lines or at one of the intersections

  3. By placing the foreground elements along one of the lines
  4. By placing the background elements along one of the lines
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the difference between symmetry and asymmetry in architectural photography?

  1. Symmetry uses balance and repetition to create a sense of order and harmony, while asymmetry uses imbalance and contrast to create a sense of tension and excitement
  2. Symmetry uses balance and repetition to create a sense of tension and excitement, while asymmetry uses imbalance and contrast to create a sense of order and harmony
  3. Symmetry uses balance and repetition to create a sense of depth, while asymmetry uses imbalance and contrast to create a sense of movement
  4. Symmetry uses balance and repetition to create a sense of movement, while asymmetry uses imbalance and contrast to create a sense of depth
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

How can framing be used to improve the composition of an architectural photograph?

  1. By using elements in the foreground to create a sense of depth
  2. By using elements in the background to create a sense of context
  3. By using elements in the middle ground to create a sense of focus
  4. By using elements in the foreground, background, and middle ground to create a sense of unity
