HUM 1020 Exam 1 Study Guide With Complete
Solutions Latest Update
Text ANS✔✔ is simply another name for the thing we are looking at ( or
listening to, or reading). If we are looking at a painting, the painting is our
"text." This is like our primary source—the object created to stimulate our
thinking, to communicate something to us. If we were talking about music—
our "text" might be a symphony. If we are exploring theater, then our "text"
would be the play and/or the performance. How we engage with the text is
the first step in practicing the humanities.
Subtext ANS✔✔ can be a lot more involved. For the most part this is beyond
the scope of our introductory class, though we glimpsed, or will glimpse a
bit of this with the Jan Van Eyck Arnolfini Double Portrait.
Context ANS✔✔ This is part of what Barrett means when he says that works
have an "aboutness." Knowing the context of a work helps us gain a better
appreciation for the work. Context can mean understanding the iconography
or cultural meaning of elements of the work, as with our Jan Van Eyck oil
painting ( below right) or our Albrecht Durer Adam and Eve engraving
( below left).
Subject Matter ANS✔✔ the topic dealt with or the subject represented in a
debate, exposition, or work of art.
Content ANS✔✔ satisfied with a certain level of achievement, good fortune,
etc., and not wishing for more

Media ANS✔✔ Media is plural of medium
Medium ANS✔✔ The kind of paint that consists of pigment and binder; may
also refer to the surface or support to which paint is applied.
Printmaking ANS✔✔ makes use of a matrix, such as a block, screen, or
plate, to create or print multiples of the same image. A rubber stamp is a
matrix for a very basic kind of relief print.
Intaglio ANS✔✔ Any printmaking process in which a metal plate is grooved
or textured. The plate is inked and wiped clean, leaving ink only in the
incised indentations. The plate and paper are run through a press and the
paper absorbs and image of the lines or textures in the plate.
Lithography ANS✔✔ A processed based on chemical properties of grease
and water. The artist draws with a grease crayon on a "stone". When the
stone is wetted and a greasy ink applied, the ink adheres to the drawing
and is repelled by the water.
Etching ANS✔✔ is an intaglio process which uses acids rather than a burin
or other tool to create the lines in a plate.
Screen Printing ANS✔✔ Screen printing, also known as serigraphy, is a
method of creating an image on paper, fabric or some other object by
pressing ink through a screen with areas blocked off by a stencil.
Photography ANS✔✔ has democratized the recording of images. Invented in
1839, the medium of photography has transformed our ability to record the
world, as well as the shape of that world.
