1PSEB Senior Secondary Modelling and Sculpture (Class 12) is listed in the Scheme of Studies mainly as which mark pattern?
A.Theory 80 + INA 20
B.Practical 80 + INA 20
C.Theory 45 + Practical 50 + INA 5
D.Theory 50 + Practical 45 + INA 5
Explanation: Official PSEB Scheme of Studies lists Modeling and Sculpture (code 066) with no separate theory paper column, Practical 80 marks, and Internal Assessment (INA) 20 marks (total 100).
2Which media does the PSEB Class 12 Modelling and Sculpture syllabus specifically name for practical figure and portrait work?
A.Only oil paint on canvas
B.Clay or plaster of Paris
C.Only bronze casting alloys
D.Only digital 3D modelling software
Explanation: The 2025–26 Class XII Modelling and Sculpture syllabus specifies preparing bird, animal, human-body, and portrait sculptures using clay or plaster of Paris (mitti / plaster of Paris).
3Part II of the PSEB Class 12 Modelling and Sculpture practical syllabus focuses on:
A.Linear perspective drawing only
B.Portrait study of the human face
C.Relief carving in wood or stone
D.Designing and constructing the display pedestal
Explanation: Part II is titled Portrait Study (40 marks): prepare a human-face sculpture in clay or plaster of Paris so that facial features are expressed clearly.
4Modelling in sculpture is best described as an:
A.Additive process of building form by adding and shaping soft material
B.Only subtractive chipping of hard stone with no building
C.Printing process using ink and plates only
D.Photographic darkroom process
Explanation: Modelling builds form by adding and shaping pliable materials such as clay or soft plaster putty—an additive approach—unlike carving, which removes material.
5An armature in soft-clay figure sculpture is primarily used to:
A.Replace all surface texture forever
B.Support soft material so limbs and mass do not collapse
C.Fire clay without a kiln
D.Measure only kiln temperature
Explanation: An armature is an internal support (wire/wood/etc.) that holds soft modelling material while the sculptor builds mass and detail.
6Leather-hard clay is best described as clay that is:
A.Still fully liquid slip
B.Partly dried, firm enough to refine or carve lightly, yet slightly damp
C.Fully vitrified ceramic after high firing
D.Completely powdered dry clay dust only
Explanation: Leather-hard clay has dried enough to hold shape and accept careful carving/joining refinement while remaining slightly damp and workable.
7Plaster of Paris (POP) hardens primarily by:
A.Evaporating oil binders only
B.A chemical setting reaction after mixing with water
C.Freezing at 0°C only
D.Melting metal at high temperature
Explanation: Plaster of Paris (calcium sulfate hemihydrate) reacts with water and sets into a solid gypsum form; artists control set time with mix ratio and technique.
8Which personal protective habit is most appropriate when sanding dry plaster or bone-dry clay?
A.Ignore dust completely
B.Control dust and use respiratory protection as needed; protect eyes
C.Wet hands with solvent paint thinner only
D.Remove all ventilation from the room
Explanation: Dry clay and plaster dust can irritate airways and eyes; good practice is damp cleaning, ventilation, mask use when sanding, and eye protection.
9Low relief (bas-relief) sculpture is best described as form that:
A.Projects only slightly from a background plane
B.Must always be fully freestanding and walk-around
C.Exists only as a 2D pencil line with no depth
D.Is always larger than a building
Explanation: Low relief remains attached to a background and projects shallowly; high relief projects more strongly; freestanding (round) sculpture can be viewed in the round.
10In classical head-proportion teaching for portrait modelling, the eyes are often placed approximately:
A.At the very top of the skull
B.Halfway down the overall head height
C.Only at the chin line
D.Outside the head contour entirely
Explanation: A common teaching guide places the eye line near the midpoint of the head height; beginners often set eyes too high.

PSEB Class 12 Modelling & Sculpture: Suggested Study Strategy

1Weight studio hours toward Part I figure sets and Part II portraits — official marks are practical, not MCQ.
2Learn clay stages (plastic, leather-hard, bone-dry) before joining or carving details; wrong stage causes cracking and collapse.
3Mix plaster of Paris by adding powder to water in measured ratio; never reverse casually or re-temper partially set plaster for structural work.
4Build a light, strong armature for soft clay figures so limbs and necks do not sag under their own weight.
5For portraits, place eyes roughly halfway down the head and check ear alignment with brow-to-nose planes before refining features.
6Control dust from dry clay and plaster with damp cleaning and a mask when sanding; protect eyes when mixing plaster.
7Photograph process stages for INA evidence and keep finished pieces dry, supported, and labelled for assessment day.
