Question

the painting above is an example of how an artist can use to create a desired mood or affect. a. analogous colors c. symbolic meaning b. intensity and shading d. complementary colors please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

Analogous colors are colors that are next to each other on the color - wheel and create a harmonious and soothing mood. In the painting, we see a range of blues and related hues which are analogous colors. Intensity and shading are more about the lightness/darkness and brightness of colors rather than the color - relationship for mood. Symbolic meaning is about objects or elements representing something else, not directly related to the color - scheme for mood here. Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color - wheel and create a high - contrast, vibrant effect, which is not the case in this painting.

Answer:

A. analogous colors
