4short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is one mark for everything?
Show answer
Using the same mark regardless of subject ignores character. Match marks to the surface, scratchy for rough, smooth for sleek.
What are decorative marks?
Show answer
Marks added for effect that do not describe the subject read as pattern, not observation. Marks should describe form and surface.
What is q1?
Show answer
State three qualities of line you can control. [Knowledge recall]
What is q2?
Show answer
Explain why varied, form-describing line reads as solid while an even outline reads as flat. [Short explanation]
