Art of arranging light and dark to produce an illusion of 3D shapes:

  1. Chiaroscuro

  2. Cubism

  3. Pointillism

  4. Surrealism

The correct answer is: Chiaroscuro

Chiaroscuro is the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and 3D shapes in a work of art. Cubism is a modern art style that breaks down subjects into geometric shapes. Pointillism is a technique of using small dots to create an image. Surrealism is an artistic movement that aims to express the subconscious and dream-like elements in art. While all of these choices involve visual elements, only chiaroscuro specifically refers to the use of light and dark to create a 3D effect.
