Question

this painting is by pablo picasso, entitled the blind mans meal. what type of color scheme did picasso use and its definition? a. he used a analogous color scheme, which occurs when the hues used are directly opposite one another on the color wheel. b. he used a monochromatic color scheme, which occurs when one color predominates, shades of black, tints of white, values of a hue. c. he used a analogous color scheme, which occurs when the hues used are next to one another on the color wheel. d. he used a monochromatic color scheme, which occurs when the hues used are created by combining equal parts of two primary colors.

Explanation:

The painting predominantly uses different shades and tints of a single - color family. A monochromatic color scheme consists of one color with variations in its shades (black added), tints (white added), and values. Analogous color schemes involve hues next to each other on the color wheel, and the description in option a for analogous is incorrect (opposite hues are complementary). Option d's description of monochromatic is incorrect as combining equal parts of two primary colors creates a secondary color, not a monochromatic scheme.

Answer:

b. He used a monochromatic color scheme, which occurs when one color predominates, shades of black, tints of white, values of a hue.
