What this quiz covers

This quiz is built from the real Grade 6 Term 3 Art paper set in 2019, with every answer taken from the paper's own printed answer key.

It covers church architecture (reading a labelled floor plan), art vocabulary and technique, true-or-false statements about religious festivals and traditions, and matching a craft technique to the material it uses.

Questions come back in a different order every time, so it stays useful for repeated revision before a term test.

Worked examples

A few questions from this quiz, with the answer and explanation shown - so you know what to expect before you start.

  1. What does the floor plan above show?

    A simple line-drawing floor plan: a long rectangular hall with a row of dots down each side wall, opening into a slightly wider section, leading to a small labelled rectangle (D) at the far end; a point midway down the hall is labelled C.
    • a.A Buddhist temple's floor plan
    • b.A Hindu temple's floor plan
    • c.A Christian church's floor plan(correct answer)
    • d.A mosque's floor plan
    • e.An ancient palace's floor plan

    Answer: c. A Christian church's floor plan

    The long nave leading to an altar area is the standard floor-plan layout of a Christian church.

  2. True or false: Commemorating a coming-of-age ceremony, Hindu devotees celebrate Vesak Poya grandly.

    • a.True
    • b.False(correct answer)

    Answer: b. False

    This is false on two counts: Vesak is a Buddhist festival, not a Hindu one, and it commemorates the Buddha's birth, enlightenment and passing - not a coming-of-age ceremony.

  3. The clay medium is best matched with which process?

    • a.Carving
    • b.Modelling(correct answer)
    • c.Being associated with Christmas
    • d.Cutting something as needed
    • e.For graphic design work

    Answer: b. Modelling

    Clay is a modelling (ǣbīma) medium - it's shaped by hand, built up and pushed into form, rather than cut or carved away.
