1In the HAVO beeldende vakken syllabus begrippenlijst, what does compositie/ordening primarily refer to?
A.The historical biography of the artist who made the work
B.How visual elements are arranged and ordered within the image or object
C.The market price paid by collectors for the finished artwork
D.The chemical composition of pigments used in oil paint
Explanation: Compositie/ordening covers how elements are arranged — for example symmetry, asymmetry, rhythm, placement and frame — as listed in the syllabus begrippenlijst under kunstbeschouwing/beeldaspecten.
2A painting places the main figure exactly in the middle of the picture plane with balanced left–right elements. Which composition term fits best?
A.Overall composition with no clear focus
B.Asymmetrical composition
C.Central composition
D.Kikvorsperspectief
Explanation: A centraal composition organises the main motif around the centre of the beeldvlak with balanced surrounding elements.
3What does symmetrie mean as a composition principle in visual analysis?
A.Exact or near-mirror balance of forms across an axis
B.Random scattering of unrelated motifs
C.Exclusive use of diagonal lines only
D.A viewpoint from directly above the subject
Explanation: Symmetrie is balance across an axis so corresponding parts mirror or nearly mirror each other — a core compositie term on the HAVO begrippenlijst.
4Which composition quality emphasises movement, tension or directional force rather than calm balance?
A.Statische compositie
B.Dynamische compositie
C.Egaal oppervlak
D.Monochrome palette
Explanation: Dynamische compositie uses diagonals, rhythm or uneven placement to suggest motion or tension, contrasting with statische balance.
5In syllabus terms, what is a verdwijnpunt (vanishing point)?
A.The brightest highlight on a reflective surface
B.The point on the horizon where parallel lines appear to meet in linear perspective
C.The museum label describing the artwork’s title
D.The frame that crops the edge of a photograph
Explanation: In lijnperspectief, parallel lines receding in depth converge toward a verdwijnpunt on the horizon — a standard depth/space term.
6What does overlapping primarily create in a 2D image?
A.A sense of depth by placing nearer forms in front of farther ones
B.Complementary colour vibration only
C.Perfect bilateral symmetry
D.An even, textureless surface
Explanation: Overlapping is a diepte cue: forms that cover others are read as closer, supporting ruimtesuggestie on a flat surface.
7Atmosferisch perspectief typically makes distant forms appear:
A.Sharper, higher-contrast and warmer than foreground forms
B.Softer, lower-contrast and often cooler or hazier than near forms
C.Completely invisible regardless of distance
D.Identical in clarity to foreground forms
Explanation: Atmosferisch perspectief mimics aerial haze: distance reduces contrast and detail and often cools or softens colour — a syllabus diepte term.
8Vogelvluchtperspectief means the viewer’s standpunt is:
A.At ground level looking up under the chin
B.Extremely low, as if from a frog’s eye
C.High above, as if looking down from a bird’s flight path
D.Exactly on the horizon line with one vanishing point only
Explanation: Vogelvluchtperspectief is a high, downward viewpoint. Kikvorsperspectief is the contrasting low viewpoint.
9Which pair correctly contrasts two HAVO syllabus colour ideas?
A.Primaire kleuren vs secundaire kleuren
B.Verdwijnpunt vs horizon as pigment names
C.Symmetrie vs asymmetrie as light temperatures only
D.Clair-obscur vs silhouet as weaving techniques
Explanation: The begrippenlijst lists primaire and secundaire kleuren (and complementary contrasts) as colour vocabulary for analysis.
10Complementaire kleuren are best described as:
A.Any two colours mixed to make black paint only
B.Colours opposite each other on the colour circle that heighten contrast when placed together
C.Colours that are always identical in hue and value
D.Only the brown earth pigments used in underpainting
Explanation: Complementaire kleuren sit opposite on the kleurencirkel and create strong contrast — a listed kleurcontrast on the syllabus.

About the HAVO Tehatex Exam

HAVO Tekenen, handvaardigheid, textiele vormgeving (tehatex) is a Dutch upper-secondary visual arts exam under CvTE, catalogued on Examenblad.nl. The 2026 Syllabus beeldende vakken havo specifies CE coverage of Domain A with the multi-year theme Kunst en leven, a stoffbeperking from Romanesque to the present with emphasis from 1800/neoclassicism, and a begrippenlijst of formal terms. The official CE is a written analysis paper (~2.5 hours), not an MCQ-only test; studio making is Domain B in the Schoolexamen. This practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation for visual knowledge, analysis and rubric judgment — it is not a practical-studio substitute and not an official Dutch CE simulation.

Assessment

Eindexamen = CE + SE. Centraal Examen: Domain A Vaktheorie only (A1 describe/research/interpret; A2 beschouwen) as a national written sitting with opgaven and image bijlage; scored via correctievoorschrift; raw points converted to a 1–10 grade with the series N-term omzettingstabel. Schoolexamen: Domain B Praktijk (making) and Domain C orientation per school PTA; SE may also revisit Domain A. Official assessment is not pure multiple-choice and includes a substantial practical component in SE.

Time Limit

CE: typically about 2.5 hours (Examenblad 2026: 1e tijdvak Thursday 21 May 2026 09:00–11:30; 2e tijdvak Monday 22 June 2026 13:30–16:00). SE duration and forms follow each school’s PTA.

Passing Score

Dutch grading scale 1–10; a subject is typically passed at ≥5.5. When both apply, the final subject grade is the average of CE and SE. CE points are converted via the published N-term table for that series.

Exam Fee

No separate published per-subject fee for regular secondary-school HAVO candidates (publicly funded). Do not treat DUO Staatsexamen subject fees as the school CE fee; those fees apply only to independent DUO Staatsexamen candidates. (College voor Toetsen en Examens (CvTE); catalogue and documents on Examenblad.nl)

HAVO Tehatex Study Tips from Top Performers

1Train describing voorstelling, vormgeving, materiaal/techniek and betekenis before jumping to judgment (A1 before A2).
2Drill begrippenlijst pairs: e.g. lineair vs picturaal, complementariteit, lijnperspectief vs atmosferisch perspectief, clair-obscur.
3Link post-1800 movements (neoclassicism through contemporary) to Kunst en leven probleemstellingen about artist roles and status.
4Practise arguing a beschouwing with evidence from formal features and context — not unsupported taste statements.
5Use these English MCQs for concept drill, then switch to Dutch past CE papers and image bijlagen on Examenblad for authentic open-answer timing.
6Keep SE studio practice separate: MCQs cannot certify practical making skills required in Domain B.
