Painting Answer Key
The Drawing honor was created in 2013 when the NAD Honor Taskforce voted to
expand and replace the Drawing and Painting honor with four new
honors: Drawing, Drawing - Advanced, Painting, and Painting - Advanced. The new
Painting honors adopted the insignia for the old Drawing and Paining honor, and the
new Drawing honor received a new insignia.
