Memorandum

Activity 1

Requirements Learner journals

In Modules 1 and 2 the learners worked with drawing, painting, design, handicraft, and collage techniques. In Module 3 sculpture, architecture and graphic media will be studied.

As we are surrounded by a variety of art objects, statues and works of art in our daily lives, it is essential that learners can distinguish between all the various visual art forms (drawing, painting, architecture, sculpturing, design, handicraft and graphic media).

Let the learners look at the illustrations in their modules and then decide which term (architecture etc) belongs to which illustration.

Answers: A = Drawing; B = Painting; C = Architecture; D = Sculpture; E = Designing; F = Handicraft; G = Graphic Art

Continue with a class discussion on the above-mentioned art forms, so that the learner can give a definition or description of each art form below the illustration.

Activity 2: mobile mixed media

Requirements: Journals/ wire hangers/ thread/ variety of media and waste products.

Each learner must use a wire hanger as basis of the mobile (a work of art which is hung and must be able to bring forth movement). Look at the examples of the various forms of art to serve as inspiration for their own creation of a variety of art forms. If the learners cannot obtain materials or media, pictures of certain art forms can be pasted onto carton and used. As many examples of various forms of art as possible must then be hung from the wire hanger tied by thread. The completed mobile can be hung in the classroom or elsewhere in the school building. A good place would be the foyer of the school.

Requirements: A photostat copy of a television programme for one day for each learner/pencils/pastels or wax crayons

Step 1

Hand out the photostats to each learner. Ask them to identify various types or genres of programmes and to write down as many as possible in their journals.

(Example soap, comedy, sport, news, drama, discussion programme, thriller, animation etc.)

Step 2

The learners must complete the questionnaire in their workbooks or on a sheet of paper.

Step 3

The learners must each create an advertisement character for their imaginary product, in their workbooks or on a sheet of paper.
