What this quiz covers

This quiz is built from the real Grade 7 end-of-year Art paper set in 2020, with every answer taken from the paper's own printed answer key.

It covers Sri Lanka's traditional string-puppet industry, colour theory and design vocabulary, true-or-false statements on craft and architecture, reading a set of five labelled images, the Rankoth Vehera at Polonnaruwa, and a longer matching section that pairs a named craft or site with its correct definition.

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