Cool Colours

University question

[kingkelly]

I need to answer this questionnaire for applying to a university. Got most of the questions, but thought you guys would be experts for the ones i cant find myself.
---------------------------------------------------------
Which of the following are all considered to be
cool colours?
A. cadmium yellow, burnt orange, aquamarine blue, & red
B. forest green,aquamarine, lime green, and cobalt blue
C. cadmium yellow, coral, red, and pink
D. lime green, prussian blue, burnt orange, and cobalt blue

Im thihnkin D

[Terrier]

IMO
B. Is the answer, they are all cool colors
D. The burnt orange is a hot color

[mivox]

Red, orange and yellow colors are "warm" while blues, greens and purples are "cool"

Obviously there's a bit of overlap on the red/purple border as well as the green/yellow one... and you'll hear people talk about a "warm red" as opposed to a "cool red" or whatnot, but the above is a good basic rule.

[kingkelly]

burnt orange=hot, of course! Thanks SO MUCH!

One more please, this is tooooo good!

22. The maple leaf on the Canadian flag is . . .
A. a very literal interpretation of an actual maple leaf
B. a graphic interpretation of an actual maple leaf
C. an abstract interpretation of an actual maple leaf
D. none of the above

B, right?

[mivox]

Well, literal would be photographic/realistic, and abstract might not look like much of a maple leaf at all...

What kind questions are these? Very strange. What school are you applying to? I would think that your portfolio would outweigh any questionaire.

[kingkelly]

Applying to York (Toronto). They have a 4 year degree for design, and me gets a Bachelor of Design. Competitive though, thats why i have to fill out the knowledge quiz, and then write an essay, so they can weed out a bunch of the applicants. If i do good on this, then they call me in for a portfolio evaluation.... Too much pressure!

[fathom]

I personally would have to say "D".

Although the flag leaf attempts to mirror a "red maple" leaf - the points are wrong. The "red maple tree" signifies all of Canada, as the tree naturally grew in all of the original Canadian provinces.

It does somewhat resemble a "Sugar Maple" (without the rounded edges)which if you assumed just any maple will do... then "B" would do.

I'm glad I don't live in canada... ;) Here in the US they don't even expect us to know what the stars and stripes symbolize on the flag ;)

[kingkelly]

Thanks folks!

Well they do if you want to become a US citizen:

(Question 68 and onwards)

But maybe they don't insist on you knowing it once you're in :)

(And Question 83 has me puzzled -- I can do all those things now right where I live).

[mivox]

Hehehe... is that a multiple choice test? Dunno if I'd pass otherwise. ;)

[korkus2000]

Good luck kingkelly. I think with the knowledge you have shown here that you would be a credit to any design school. :)

[kingkelly]

ahhhh, Korkus, youre too kind :)
