Exam 1 Review and Description (2)

Global Art & Visual Culture: Exam 1 Review Exam 1 consists of 40 multiple choice questions, and you will have 50 minutes to complete it. This time limit is to ensure that you complete the review prior to taking the exam. If you try to look up answers while taking the exam, you will run out of time. The questions are delivered one-at-a-time and once you answer a question you cannot back-track. If you lose your internet connection while taking the exam, you will be able to log back on and continue where you left off. However, the timer will still run while you are not working on the exam, so make sure you get back into it immediately. If you encounter technical problems in taking the test, call IT support at 806-742-HELP and also e-mail me immediately at bryan.e.wheeler@ttu.edu . I highly recommend that you do not wait until the last second to take the exam, because once the due date passes, you will not be able to take it. There are no late or make-up exams allowed without documentation of an extended absence. Finally, you will not be able to view your finished test until the exam due date has passed. After that has occurred, you will be able to see the questions you answered incorrectly. Exam 1 covers all videos and Confab Sessions (both the Intro Video Lectures and the sessions themselves) from Week 1-Week 4. No questions appear on the exam that are not on this review. _____________________________________________________________________________________  A formal analysis involves ______________.  Andrew Wyeth's oil painting Christina's World makes use of a "visual shorthand" in the grassy field to create __________.  Artists use complementary colors to ___________.  Color is said to have “temperature”, being either “warm” or “cool”.
