Part 2: For questions 61-70, read the passage carefully. Then choose the item that best
answers each of the questions below. llrite your onswers in the coruesponding numbered
boxes provided
The medieval artists didn't know about perspective; they didn't want to make their
people look like real, individual people in a real, individual scene. They wanted to show the
truth, the eternal quality of their religious stories. So these artists didn't need to know about
perspective.
In the European Renaissance period, artists wanted to show the importance of the
individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings. A flat medieval style
couldn't show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique. It was the Italian
artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective drawing. At first the artists
of the Renaissance only had single-point perspective. Later they realized that they could
have two-pointed perspective and still later multi-point perspective.
With two-point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an angle to
the picture and draw two sides of it. The technique of perspective which seems so natural to
us now is an invented technique,apart of the "@!qg of painting". Like all bits of
grammar there are exceptions about perspective. For example, only vertical and horizontal
surfaces seem to meet on eye level. Sloping roof tops don't meet on eye level.
For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their pictures.
Nevertheless, there are a range of priorities that artists in displaying individual styles.
Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple single-point perspective.
Cezanne always talked about space and volume. Van Gogh, like some of the other painters
of the Impressionist period, was interested in Japanese prints. And Japanese artists until this
cenfury were always very strong designers of "flat" pictures. Picasso certainly made pictures
which have volume and depth. However, he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to
remind us that his paintings are paintings and not illusions.
It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth. However, a strong two dimensional
design is just
as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more important.

A. the difference between medieval and Renaissance art
B. how the technique of perspective influenced the modern art
C. the discovery of the technique of perspective
D. the contribution of Renaissance artists

_.
A. Renaissance artists' to prove that the medieval artists could show level of reality
Page 5 of 10
B. the need to turn an object at an angle and draw more than one side of it
C. the subject being shifted from religious stories to individual person and
surroundings.
D. natural evolution of human senses

_.
A. the picture B. perspective C. angle D. the object

SECTION III: READING (5.0 points)
Part 1: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following
questions. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) in the numbered boxes.
Since ancient times, one of the most common materials people have utilized to make things
with is wood. Wood is used to make houses, buildings, and other structures. People also
make a large number of smaller objects with it.
The desire to make finished products more beautiful appears to be ingrained in huma n
nature. On account of this fact, for thousands of years, people have carved and shaped
wooden objects to make them more appealing to the eye. Humans have additionally tended
to create both religious and ceremonial objects from wood. In fact, all around the world,
countless cultures have made use of ceremonial wood carvings. These objects often reflect
the spirit of the people who made them, and each of them tends to hold a special
significance as well.
One of the most common types of wood carvings is the mask. People in many cultures in
Asia, Africa, and North America have made ceremonial wooden masks. In Africa, for
instance, large numbers of tribes use wooden masks for vari ous spiritual rituals. These
masks are often in the form of animals that are sacred to the tribes. In other cases, the masks
have human forms. The faces, however, may not be exactly humanlike. For instance, the
faces can be distorted, having wider, longer, smaller, or larger features than normal. The
masks may be carved to give them ugly or frightening appearances as well. And, on other
occasions, the masks are made to look as beautiful as possible.
While masks tend to be fairly small, other wood carvings can be enormous. Among the
largest of all ceremonial wood carvings is the totem p ole. Totem poles have been built by
several Native American tribes that reside in the northwestern part of North America. They
are normally made to represent families, or they may honor significant historical events.
Some even tell stories. A typical totem pole has several individual carvings on it. Each
carving represents a different part of the family history, event, or story. Most totem poles
have human or animal faces, as well as other figures, carved in them. They are so large that
they are made from e ntire trees. Once the trees are cut down, master craftsmen work on
them. When completed, they may or may not be painted. Then, the totem poles are
positioned in places of honor and placed upright.
