Making work on purpose: developing an idea, choosing materials and judging when a work is resolved.
These are the statements the Visual Arts - Year 7 syllabus makes about Artmaking Practice. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.

Year 7 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Artmaking Practice are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Visual Arts - Year 7 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Artmaking Practice opens the Visual Arts - Year 7 course. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Visual Arts - Year 7 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
