Selected Works unit test
A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

7 ptsFor AP 2-D Art and Design Selected Works, each of the five works requires written evidence identifying the materials, the processes, and the ideas involved, and each of those three responses is limited to roughly 100 characters. A student submits a monotype printed on newsprint, with a photographic transfer of a chain-link fence and hand-drawn graphite lines crossing it.
Write a materials response within the character limit for this work.
Write a processes response within the limit.
Write an ideas response within the limit.
Explain why the ideas response is the hardest of the three and what students most often get wrong in it.
Explain what a reader learns from the materials response that the image alone does not convey.
Explain one specific way a work of this kind should be photographed for submission, and why.
Explain the College Board requirement regarding work based on published images or the work of others, and how a student demonstrates compliance.
