Solution and Explanation

This is a drawing question with two alternatives; attempt only one. The following is a marking and approach guide.
Option 1 (Diwali 3D sculpture): Choose five clearly different crackers (for example, a rocket, an anar/flowerpot, a chakri/ground spinner, a bomb/sutli type and a sparkler or phuljhadi) and show each one with a recognisable shape. Scale them freely but keep proportions pleasing: make one or two large crackers the dominant elements, and arrange the others around them in a balanced, stable composition (pyramid, spiral or cluster) so that the sculpture looks like one unified form. Draw it in 3D using a suitable viewpoint (for example, a three-quarter view), overlapping forms, perspective and shading to show volume. Use at least four colours, applied with a plan (warm Diwali colours with contrasting accents), and show light and shadow on each form.
Option 2 (Basketball court): Draw the court in perspective with the key court markings (boundary, centre circle, key area, three-point arc), the hoops and backboards, several players in action (running, dribbling, shooting) with correct body proportions and gestures, and a crowd seated in tiers around the court, smaller and less detailed towards the back to create depth. Add a scoreboard or banners for context. Use suitable, harmonious colours with team colours to separate the two sides, and show the excitement of the audience.
What examiners look for: adherence to the question (number of crackers or presence of players and audience), at least the required colours, composition and balance, proportion and perspective, creativity, use of colour, light and shade, neatness and overall impact.
