1According to artist Shri Devi Prasad, which description best defines art?
A.Only oil paintings sold in galleries
B.Every act done with a sense of beauty, grace and human relevance
C.Any activity that requires expensive tools
D.Only classical music performances
Explanation: The Balbharati textbook quotes Shri Devi Prasad: every act done with beauty, grace and human relevance is art. That broad view shows an artist can exist in ordinary creative work, not only in professional fine-art careers.
2Which set lists the five basic elements of visual art named in the Maharashtra Self-Development and Art Appreciation textbook?
A.Line, shape, colour, light and shadow, texture
B.Rhythm, melody, harmony, tempo, pitch
C.Plot, character, dialogue, setting, costume
D.Interest, capability, opportunity, salary, fame
Explanation: The textbook teaches that all visual art is built from five elements: line, shape, colour, light and shadow, and texture. How an artist combines them shapes the final work.
3Red, yellow and blue are called primary colours mainly because they:
A.Can only be used in sculpture
B.Cannot be created by mixing other colours
C.Are always secondary colours
D.Are never found in nature
Explanation: Primary colours cannot be made by combining other colours; they are starting points for mixing. Secondary colours come from combining primaries.
4In visual arts, texture mainly refers to:
A.How an object feels when touched, such as smooth or rough
B.Only the price of an artwork
C.Only the artist’s signature
D.The length of a musical note
Explanation: Texture is the tactile quality—smooth, rough, sharp, blunt, and so on. Capturing texture well can make artwork feel more realistic and appealing.
5Which of the following is a visual art form?
A.Painting
B.Kathak performance on stage
C.Live vocal concert
D.Stand-up comedy monologue
Explanation: Painting is a visual art form. Live dance, music and comedy performances belong to performing arts because the artist’s live presence is essential.
6A growth mindset mainly means believing that:
A.Intelligence and capabilities are fixed at birth and never change
B.Intelligence and capabilities can improve through effort, practice and feedback
C.Only talented people should study difficult subjects
D.Failure always proves a person is permanently incapable
Explanation: Carol Dweck’s growth mindset holds that skills and intelligence can grow with hard work, strategies, help and higher challenges. A fixed mindset treats ability as unchangeable.
7Which statement best shows a fixed mindset?
A.I can train my brain in mathematics with practice.
B.When I fail, I learn from my mistakes.
C.I just don’t have a maths brain and I never will.
D.I like to challenge myself.
Explanation: Saying you permanently lack a ‘maths brain’ treats ability as fixed. Growth-minded alternatives focus on practice, strategies and learning from mistakes.
8In the career magic framework, a good career sits at the intersection of interest, capability and:
A.Only luck
B.Opportunity (society’s need that people will pay for)
C.Only celebrity status
D.Only the highest salary in any field
Explanation: The textbook’s career magic framework says interest, capability and opportunity together lead toward a strong career. Opportunity is external demand for work society values and pays for.
9Self-expression through art is important mainly because it:
A.Replaces the need for all school subjects
B.Helps people share thoughts, emotions and experiences
C.Is useful only for professional painters
D.Must always be expensive to matter
Explanation: The textbook stresses a natural drive to express ourselves. Art helps communicate thoughts, emotions and experiences when ordinary words alone may not be enough.
10Which example best shows art in everyday life?
A.Ignoring all colour and design around you
B.Rangoli, embroidery, hairstyles and carefully arranged food dishes
C.Only museum visits abroad
D.Deleting all photographs and drawings
Explanation: The textbook lists daily-life art such as rangoli, movies, matching clothes, food presentation, embroidery and hairstyles. Art is not limited to formal galleries.
