Which of the following is NOT a common experimental drawing technique?

  1. Collage

  2. Encaustic

  3. Cross-hatching

  4. Photomontage


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cross-hatching is a traditional drawing technique that involves creating a series of intersecting lines to create shading and texture. It is not typically considered an experimental technique.

What is the term for the process of creating a drawing using a heated metal tool to burn lines into a surface?

  1. Pyrography

  2. Sgraffito

  3. Drypoint

  4. Lithography


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pyrography is the art of creating images by burning them into wood or other materials using a heated metal tool.

Which experimental drawing technique involves using a chemical solution to dissolve parts of a drawing surface, creating unique and unpredictable effects?

  1. Frottage

  2. Monotype

  3. Pointillism

  4. Solvent Transfer


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Solvent Transfer is a technique where a drawing is made on a surface, and then a solvent is applied to dissolve and transfer the drawing to another surface.

What is the term for the technique of creating a drawing by pressing a textured surface onto a paper or canvas?

  1. Blind Contour Drawing

  2. Frottage

  3. Stippling

  4. Hatching


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Frottage is a technique where a textured surface is placed under a paper or canvas, and then rubbed with a pencil or other drawing tool to transfer the texture to the paper.

Which experimental drawing technique involves creating a series of small dots to create an image?

  1. Stippling

  2. Cross-hatching

  3. Hatching

  4. Pointillism


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pointillism is a technique where a series of small dots are placed close together to create an image.

What is the term for the technique of creating a drawing by repeatedly lifting and lowering a pencil or other drawing tool to create a series of short, parallel lines?

  1. Hatching

  2. Stippling

  3. Cross-hatching

  4. Drypoint


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hatching is a technique where a series of short, parallel lines are drawn to create shading and texture.

Which experimental drawing technique involves creating a drawing by using a sharp tool to scratch lines into a surface?

  1. Drypoint

  2. Sgraffito

  3. Pyrography

  4. Monotype


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sgraffito is a technique where a sharp tool is used to scratch lines into a surface, revealing a different color or texture underneath.

What is the term for the technique of creating a drawing by using a blunt tool to press into a surface, creating a raised or indented design?

  1. Embossing

  2. Repoussé

  3. Drypoint

  4. Pointillism


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Embossing is a technique where a blunt tool is used to press into a surface, creating a raised or indented design.

Which experimental drawing technique involves creating a drawing by using a sharp tool to cut into a surface, creating a series of lines or shapes?

  1. Drypoint

  2. Sgraffito

  3. Pyrography

  4. Intaglio


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Intaglio is a technique where a sharp tool is used to cut into a surface, creating a series of lines or shapes.
