What does intensity refer to in the context of art?

Degrees of shading between black and white
Brightness of a color
Distance in perspective
Size of the artwork

The correct answer is: Degrees of shading between black and white

In the context of art, intensity refers to the brightness or purity of a color, making option B the correct answer. Intensity describes how vivid or dull a color appears; a color with high intensity is bold and vibrant, while a color with low intensity appears closer to gray or muted. Degrees of shading between black and white relate more to value rather than intensity. Value refers specifically to the lightness or darkness of a color in relation to black and white values. Distance in perspective deals with the representation of depth in artwork, which is not relevant to the concept of intensity as applied to color. The size of the artwork does not influence color properties and thus is also irrelevant to this discussion. Understanding intensity allows artists to create visual interest and convey emotions through color choices effectively.
