Re: Art Praxis General Content Knowledge
Posted by Sherry on 4/26/08

    HI Everyone,
    I took the test and while there were some tricky questions mostly the ones
    related to specific pictures given and the meaning behind the artists
    works....it was pretty easy. I finished in an hour and went over some of the
    questions (which can be a bad thing to do)...the list was certainly helpful to
    guide you to covering things but the artists we not all mentioned and there was
    only one picture that is on the list that I had on my test. That was the
    Sleeping Gypsy. There were 2 questions for that.
    Be sure to know terms for ceramics/pottery, printmaking, metalwork, one weaving
    question about the warp and weft.
    One picture that was in my test was Nocturne in Black and Gold: The falling
    Rocket by James Whistler 2 questions.
    They asked what the Taj Mahal was.
    Where is the Last Supper painted?
    Know your color wheel complementary colors/contrast colors.
    Perspective questions in painting and photography
    One question on why you would compress a file (digital)
    I would have to say don't spend too much time on all of the artists in the list
    just know the eras and the -isms what did what then you would be able to make a
    better decision on the questions.

    I am all out of thought now. But I wouldn't worry all of us are smarter than we
    give ourselves credit for.
    I did pray for everyone taking the test on 4-26-08 especially those that said
    they were taking 2 or 3 in one day.
    All the best,
    Sherry
