1 What should students look for when they carefully observe a chosen vehicle? 1 mark

Model answer

Students should look for the geometrical shapes they can see in the vehicle.

Explanation

This is the first observation task in Activity 1.1.

2 After identifying shapes in a vehicle, what should students add to their drawing? 1 mark

Model answer

Students should add details to the drawing after drawing the geometrical shapes they observe.

Explanation

The sequence is given in the vehicle-drawing activity.

3 Why does Activity 1.1 ask students to draw the shadow of a vehicle? 2 marks

Model answer

The shadow is one of the visual parts students are asked to observe and include in their vehicle artwork.

Explanation

The task explicitly includes drawing the vehicle's shadow.

4 What are the steps students follow after choosing a vehicle to draw? 2 marks

Model answer

They observe its geometrical shapes, draw the shapes, add details, draw its shadow, and colour and decorate it.

Explanation

These are the main steps listed in Activity 1.1.

5 How can a student make a vehicle drawing personal rather than simply outline its shape? 2 marks

Model answer

The student can add details and colour and decorate the vehicle in their own style.

Explanation

The activity explicitly encourages personal decoration.

6 Explain why observing a vehicle carefully is important before drawing it. 2 marks

Model answer

Careful observation helps students notice its geometrical shapes and details. They can then use these observations to make a drawing that represents the chosen vehicle.

Explanation

The activity begins by asking students to look carefully at the vehicle.

7 A drawing of a vehicle includes its outline but no details or shadow. What steps from Activity 1.1 could improve it? 3 marks

Model answer

The student could add details, draw the vehicle's shadow, and then colour and decorate the drawing in their own style.

Explanation

These steps are all specified in the activity.

8 How might two students' drawings of the same type of vehicle differ while following the chapter's activity? 3 marks

Model answer

They may notice or include different details and choose different colours and decorations. The activity asks each student to decorate the vehicle in their own style.

Explanation

The chapter allows personal choices in the artwork.

9 Describe a sensible process for turning observations of a real vehicle into a finished artwork. 3 marks

Model answer

First, choose a vehicle and look at it carefully. Next, identify and draw its geometrical shapes, add details, draw its shadow, and finally colour and decorate it in a personal style.

Explanation

The response follows the ordered process in Activity 1.1.

10 Why is it useful to include both the vehicle's shapes and its shadow in an artwork? 4 marks

Model answer

The shapes help represent the vehicle's form, while the shadow is another feature that the activity asks students to observe and draw. Including both makes the drawing respond to more than just the vehicle's outline.

Explanation

The answer distinguishes two required observation elements without adding outside rules.
