Answer key

For grown-ups. Fold this page away before handing over the rest.

Yayoi Kusama · Yayoi Kusama often uses repeated dots. This pattern alone does not identify its maker.
Vincent van Gogh · Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, with swirling marks in its sky.
False · Artists can make different choices, even when they share some ideas.
Different materials and window shapes · Brick differs from wood, and square windows differ from arched windows. Both features differ.
Colours, shapes and materials · Colours, shapes and materials tell you how paintings look or are made. Price does not tell you about those features.
False · Name the artist whose work gave you the idea and say how you used it.
Use swirling lines to show the moving wind · Swirling lines retain the chosen mark-making idea while showing Ben's own subject, wind in a garden.
The colour leaves the maker uncertain · A shared colour proves neither the same maker nor different makers. More information is needed.
