Question 1

Question

Read the following and answer the questions that follow.
Woodcraft, metal and clay products, textiles and jewellery are all displayed at the National Artisan Export exhibition. Here you can see the artisans at work and also buy products directly from them. Most of the artists have come from different parts of the country. However, the artists working on traditional pieces of jewellery are from South India. Gold is the metal that is used most of all but you will also see silver, copper and platinum as well. The artists not only use expensive stones like diamonds but they also use shells and glass. When an artist makes a piece of jewellery, they usually begin with the shape that they work from drawings. Then they have to select the colour and a material. Most of the artists get their idea from sculptures they see in temples and old monuments. Most of the artists make trial pieces before they get the design just right. Although the artists make rings, necklaces and earrings like all jewellers, at this Export exhibition you can mainly see bracelets and bangles in all colours and designs.
