  5. What variety of materials and tools is required in sculpture?

    • Exclusively digital
    • Only rigid metals
    • A wide range
    • A single medium

  6. What does form represent in the context of sculpture?

    • Surface colour
    • Shadow mapping
    • Three-dimensional volume
    • Flat perspective

  7. Which technique builds a form by shaping soft material?

    • etching
    • modelling
    • gilding
    • screen printing

  8. Cutting away material from a solid block is known as what technique?

    • Constructing
    • Modelling
    • Joining
    • Reducing

  9. A student fixes wood pieces with glue and screws. Which technique is this?

    • reducing
    • carving
    • joining
    • printing

  10. Translating a sketch into a wire armature is an example of what?

    • Surface painting
    • Relief etching
    • Transposing 2D images
    • Digital printmaking

  11. A student builds a figure in clay by adding and smoothing material. Which technique is shown?

    • modelling
    • monoprint
    • etching
    • lithography

  12. Using card, metal, and plaster together demonstrates which specification requirement?

    • Range of materials
    • Exclusive singular media
    • Monolithic consistency
    • Strict standardisation

  13. A student builds a freestanding structure from rods, joined with bolts. Which techniques are shown?

    • etching and gilding
    • constructing and joining
    • carving and printing
    • projection and painting

  14. A student's form suggests weight and balance. Which formal element is central?

    • form
    • texture
    • tone
    • hue

  15. Why is understanding material properties essential in sculpture?

    • Affects structural strength
    • Eliminates weight entirely
    • Prevents all shadows
    • Guarantees bright colours

  16. What key decisions are needed when transposing a 2D image into 3D?

    • Brush stroke texture
    • Depth and proportion
    • Canvas weight
    • Ink viscosity

  17. What is the primary difference between reducing and constructing?

    • Removing versus assembling
    • Painting versus drawing
    • Melted versus frozen
    • Digital versus manual

  18. What is the fundamental purpose of sculpture beyond mere aesthetics?

    • Filling empty rooms
    • Displaying flat patterns
    • Communicating ideas
    • Providing structural support

  19. What is the primary function of joining parts in a sculpture?

    • Removing excess mass
    • Ensuring structural integrity
    • Adding surface pigment
    • Creating 2D illusions

  20. What sculptural technique involves turning a flat photograph into a three-dimensional form?

    • Modelling
    • Carving
