ጥበባዊ ግንዛቤ

When you use it

Use this to identify pure source colours that cannot be created by mixing any other colours together.

Watch out

Primary colours are only blue, red, and yellow. They create other colours, but no mixture can create them.

When you use it

ሥነ-ውበታዊ እሴት (ዋጋ) 77 ማድነቅ

When you use it

Use this technique when describing or producing traditional Ethiopian church and manuscript paintings using indigenous materials.

Watch out

Early traditional paintings were made on prepared animal parchment rather than modern canvas, and focused primarily on religious narratives rather than decorative aesthetics.

ጥመርታ ዝምድናና፣ ትግበራ

StepMovement Action
1Imagine the body curled up compactly as a seed.
2Gradually expand body size, strength, and reach upward as the seed germinates, grows, and blooms.
3Gradually wither, lose tension, and slowly sink to the floor as the plant fades.

When you use it

Use these steps when dramatizing the biological life cycle of a plant using expressive dance movements.

Watch out

Skipping stages or moving abruptly instead of gradually expanding and wilting.

Questions students ask

What do the Grade 3 Performing and Visual Arts cards cover?
6 cards across 5 chapters of the national textbook: ጥበባዊ ግንዛቤ, ፈጠራን መግለፅ, ባህልን መግለፅ, ሥነ-ውበታዊ እሴት (ዋጋ) 77 ማድነቅ and ጥመርታ ዝምድናና፣ ትግበራ. You can take any chapter one card at a time on the page itself.
Is there a national exam in Grade 3?
No. Ethiopia sets national exams in Grade 6, Grade 8 and Grade 12 only. These cards are for your school's own exams, and for the national exam that comes a few years later.
Where do these cards come from?
They are drafted from Grade 3 Performing and Visual Arts, the Ministry of Education textbook for this grade. A second pass that cannot see the chapter then re-derives every formula, constant and table row, and anything it cannot confirm is held back instead of published.
Is this free?
Yes. Every card here is free to read and the printable sheet is free to download. Neither needs an account.
When was this last checked?
30 August 2026. Cards arrive chapter by chapter, and the line under each one says when that card was last read through.

Revise, then test yourself

Temari turns these cards into practice questions and marks them as you go, with an AI tutor to explain anything that did not land.
