Charcoal Painting
Remembering Level
- Willow wood is the primary material used in making vine charcoal sticks.
- Charcoal started to be used regularly as a medium in its own right in the 20th century.
- The original method used to fix charcoal drawings was dipping in baths of gum.
- Albrecht Durer is famous for the charcoal piece "Knight, Death, and The Devil".
- Tortillons are used to blend and graduate areas of shading in charcoal drawing.
Understanding Level
- Early attempts to smelt metal using wood were unsuccessful because wood did not reach high enough temperatures.
- Charcoal pencils differ from vine charcoal in that they are bound with clay and encased in wood.
- The forest kiln method of producing charcoal is more efficient than the rudimentary pit kiln because it produces higher quality charcoal.
- White pastel is preferred over blackboard chalk for certain drawing effects because it provides brighter highlights.
- In the Renaissance, charcoal was primarily used for preparatory drawings because it was considered a less permanent medium.
Applying Level
- To create a texture that suggests strands of hair, use a lifting technique with an eraser in charcoal drawing.
- To achieve a graduated tone on a charcoal drawing, smudge a dark edge towards a light edge and leave a neutral area.
- A tool used to pick out fine highlights in a dark area of a charcoal drawing is Blu Tack.
- To create a flat tone in a charcoal drawing, cross-hatch the area lightly initially.
Analyzing Level
- Compare the historical significance of charcoal in metallurgy and art: Charcoal was used in metallurgy for fuel and in art for drawing; its use in these fields differed and overlapped.
- Analyze the reason behind Robert Longo's statement, "My religion is art": He believes in the emotional power of his works.
Evaluating Level
- Assess the impact of the evolution from pit kilns to forest kilns on charcoal production and its availability for artists: It improved production quality and quantity.
- Evaluate the statement: "Charcoal was primarily used for initial sketches until the 20th century": True, because charcoal was considered impermanent and difficult to fix.
Watercolor Art
Remembering
- William Reeves created the first water-soluble watercolor in cake form.
- Artists' colors are the highest quality watercolor paints.
- Round brushes are the most versatile for watercolor painting.
- Cold-pressed paper is best for general use in watercolor painting.
Understanding
- The main difference between Artists' colors and Students' colors in watercolor paints is the quantity of pigment and transparency and luminosity.

Applying
- Lifting is a technique that involves removing paint from the paper using a sponge or a soft paper towel.
- A spotter brush is most suitable for painting small details and delicate lines.
Analyzing
- Compare the uses of hot-pressed paper and rough paper in watercolor painting: Rough paper is better for beginners because it is versatile and good for a wide range of effects.

Evaluating
- Evaluate the impact of Louis Prang on art education in American schools: He wrote the curriculum and textbooks for art education.
- Assess the importance of stretching lighter weight papers before watercolor painting: It prevents the paper from buckling.

- A chipping hammer is used to remove slag from a weld.
Comprehension
- A filler material helps to fuse the base materials together during welding.
- Welding contributes to space exploration through the manufacture of space shuttle components and the improvement of welding processes.### Welding Technique
Understanding
- A good weld is characterized by being straight and uniform in width.
- Fused edges are essential for ensuring the structural integrity of a weld.
- Good welding technique at a fast pace can reduce burn-through.
- A lap joint is used when two metal pieces overlap each other.
Applying
- The T Welding Technique is used for welding in the vertical position.
- The J Technique is used for lap joints.
- The Circular Weave Technique is used for surface welds in the flat position.
- Figure Eight and Zigzag Technique is used for creating a cover pass in the vertical position.
Analyzing
- Undercutting can lead to reduced weld integrity.
- Corner joints are commonly used in the construction of box sections.
- The choice of welding technique depends on the joint type, position, and desired weld characteristics.
Evaluating
- The most critical factor in choosing a welding technique is the position of the weld.
- Overhead welding is the most challenging due to gravity working against the weld.
- The T Welding Technique is not suitable for horizontal welding positions.
Creating
- A welding procedure for a lap joint using the J Technique should consider position and desired weld characteristics.
- A maintenance checklist for welding equipment should include items such as checking gas flow, inspecting electrode holders, and verifying machine settings.
- A strategy to minimize distortion when welding a large metal structure includes techniques such as staggered welding, using clamps, preheating, and controlled cooling methods.
Arc Welding
Remembering
- GMAW uses a consumable wire electrode and shielding gas.
- Carbon dioxide is commonly used in GMAW to shield the welding process from contaminants.
- GTAW electrodes are made of tungsten.
Understanding
- The main function of the shielding gas in welding is to protect the weld from atmospheric contamination.
- MIG welding uses a consumable wire electrode, while TIG welding uses a non-consumable electrode.
Applying
- GTAW is suitable for welding thin sections of stainless steel with high precision.
- If a welder notices fusion defects, they should check the shielding gas flow rate first.
Analyzing
- Contaminated shielding gas can cause porosity in a weld when using GMAW.
- GTAW is more suitable for welding non-ferrous metals compared to SMAW due to its greater control over the weld.
Evaluating
- GMAW is suitable for high-speed welding of steel components due to its faster welding time.
- Semi-inert gases such as carbon dioxide in GMAW improve welding speed and cost-efficiency.
Creating
- A welding setup for a project requiring precise control over heat input and minimal contamination should use GTAW with inert gas and tungsten electrodes.
- A method to automate the welding process for mass production of aluminum parts should use GMAW due to its high-speed capability.
