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 ptsA 3-D Art and Design student has a Selected Works candidate that is a kinetic piece: a suspended assembly of laser-cut acrylic panels that rotate slowly in air currents, changing the composition continuously.
Explain the central documentation problem this work presents.
Explain how the student should use the image allowance to address it.
Write materials, processes, and ideas responses for this work, each within roughly 100 characters.
Explain why "kinetic" belongs in the processes response rather than the materials response.
Explain one thing a reader can judge about this work from still images and one thing they cannot.
Explain how the student should decide whether to submit this work at all, given the documentation constraint.
Explain how the reader's inability to see the motion should affect which of the five works this one is.
