Sample question
A student comparing oil paint with egg tempera notes oil’s slower drying and longer blending time. Which statement best explains why this matters for studying the historical development of art forms?
  • Egg tempera stopped being used as soon as oil paint appeared
  • Oil paint is more expensive, so artworks made with it are more significant
  • A material's properties, such as slow drying, open up different techniques and therefore different ways of representing ideas
  • Techniques develop independently of the materials an artist chooses
Show the worked answer

Answer: C

C connects a material’s properties to available techniques and expression. Oil’s slower drying supports extended blending; tempera’s quicker drying encourages approaches such as fine hatching, and tempera can also produce translucent layers and tonal modelling. Tempera did not disappear, cost alone does not establish significance, and techniques are affected by materials.
