Suggested Teaching and Learning Activities

To facilitate students’ attainment of the objectives in this Module, teachers are advised to engage
students in the following teaching and learning activities which may be done separately or merged to
facilitate sequencing and portfolio development.

1. Teachers may use a projector to present figure drawing techniques so students may model
these. These examples should include humanoid and non-humanoid figures.

2. Get students or other individuals to pose as live models for the teaching and learning of figure
drawing techniques.

3. Get students or other individuals to pose as live models for gesture drawing demonstrations.

4. Engage students in activities where they paint the colour wheel to expose them to the
experience of the colour changes, as well as for them to demonstrate their knowledge of the
concept.

5. Video tutorials on all topics can be disseminated to facilitate student practice outside of the
timetabled class sessions.

6. Using discussions based on research done by the students, make them aware of the basic
principles of perspective. Follow up by engaging students in the production of artwork done
through observation. As a part of the requirements, students should create perspectives with
an animated/gaming world as the background.

7. Still life can be set up using objects that are relevant to specific themes. Students are to
observe and draw these objects. The teacher should ensure that the principles of
observational drawing are taught, adhered to by the students and appropriately assessed.
