Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Memory drawing is the process of creating a drawing based on events, experiences, or objects remembered by the artist rather than directly observed. It helps develop imagination, observation, and recall by encouraging artists to reproduce scenes from their memory. Typical subjects of memory drawing include:
• Independence Day celebrations.
• Festivals and cultural events.
• Farmers harvesting crops.
• Visits to parks, zoos, fairs, or historical places.
• School functions and family gatherings.

Step 1: Identify the type of drawing described in the question. The question refers to drawing scenes from past experiences and remembered events. This type of drawing is called \[ \boxed{\text{Memory Drawing}} \]

Step 2: Examine the given options.
• Memory drawing -- Correct; based on remembered experiences and events.
• Observational drawing -- Drawn while directly observing the subject.
• Visualisation drawing -- Based primarily on imagination and conceptual ideas.
• Expressive drawing -- Emphasizes emotions and personal expression. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(A) Memory drawing}} \]
