Unit 2: Selected Works
Drawing · Unit 2 · Paper 2

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.

Paper 1Paper 2Paper 3
Each paper is built from this unit’s 18 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 2, Paper 2” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.

(b) Identify the materials used. (c) Identify the processes used. (d) In an additional paragraph for practice purposes only, explain how two specific mark-making or drawing decisions carry the idea you named, and explain how a reader could distinguish your intentional choices from accident or inexperience.
