Question

the lighthouse at honfleur by georges seurat courtesy national gallery of art, washington to create this lighthouse scene, the artist (1 point) used organic shapes to create the boat. used geometric shapes to create the lighthouse and the buildings. could not reference recognizable shapes to create this image. used cubism to create the entire scene.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Organic shapes are irregular, free - form. Boats in this scene (and generally) are more likely represented with geometric or a mix, but the lighthouse and buildings are clearly geometric. Also, the boat here doesn't seem to be the focus of the correct shape - type usage. So this is incorrect.
2. Analyze Option 2: Lighthouses are typically cylindrical (a geometric shape) and buildings have rectangular or square (geometric) components. In Seurat's work, especially in this piece, the lighthouse and buildings are constructed with geometric shapes. This makes sense.
3. Analyze Option 3: The image has recognizable shapes (lighthouse, buildings, boat, shore). So this is incorrect.
4. Analyze Option 4: Cubism involves breaking objects into geometric planes and showing multiple viewpoints. This painting is a pointillist (or a more traditional landscape - style with pointillism) work, not cubist. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. used geometric shapes to create the lighthouse and the buildings.
