Basic 8 Creative Arts And Design Term 1 Week 7 Lesson Plan

Learners inspect the Printed Ghanaian motif reference and identify its main lines, shapes and repeated pattern. On the Tablet with offline drawing application, each learner uses the Stylus to make a freehand outline inspired by the motif, add shading and apply colour. They test undo, line-width and colour tools and document which tool best supports each stage. Finished designs are displayed on the tablets for peer appraisal using design vocabulary.

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Carved yam stamp; Fabric paint; Plain cotton cloth. Learners observe the local examples and use the materials or instruments in the practical design, making, or performance task below. Let learners identify and explore some printed materials in the classroom. Guide learners to identify the various techniques in printmaking to create visual artworks. Examples: low/relief, direct, stencil, block printing, etc. Relief printing- is a process in printmaking which the printing areas are raised surface and the non-printing areas are below the surface.

The matrix or templates can be natural and man-made objects such as leaves, snail shell, human foot, sole of footwear, rope, bottle tops, etc. Learners in their groups research the internet for other types of printing and present their findings to the class. Example: Frottage printing, block printing, etc. Demonstrate how each of the printings are made.
