QUESTION 1
Your school principal has asked you to present a showcase for Heritage Day at
your school. She wants learners not only to create artwork suited for the event but
also to present an art discussion to help create cross-cultural appreciation. You
have decided to let your Grade 5 Creative Arts class discuss African textiles
according to art elements and principles, as well as the history of the fabric, as part
of the showcase.
• Explain how you will facilitate the lesson where learners will evaluate different
tribes’ fabric and report on the visual qualities (Elements of art and principles of
design) of each in preparation for the showcase.
• Include images, that you will use in class, of the textiles chosen, which tribe they
represent and why they were chosen as part of preparing learners for the showcase.
(10)

fabrics and report on the visual qualities, I will follow a structured approach that
integrates interactive learning, visual aids, and critical thinking. Here's how I
