Unit 2: Selected Works
2-D Art & Design · Unit 2 · Paper 1

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.

Each paper is built from this unit’s 20 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 2, Paper 1” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.

Prepare the written responses for one work in your AP 2-D Art and Design Selected Works section. (a) Identify the ideas visually evident in the work in no more than about 100 characters. (b) Identify the materials used. (c) Identify the processes used. (d) In an additional paragraph for practice purposes only, explain how two specific two-dimensional design elements or principles carry the idea you named in part (a), and explain why a reader who cannot see the work would still be able to verify your claim from the image alone.
