QUESTION 1
1.1 Describe your Visual Arts activity.
In this activity, titled “My Dream House Collage,” Grade 5 learners will explore architectural design using
recycled materials within a 30-minute lesson. The lesson will begin with a 5-minute introduction where
I will explain the concept of architecture in Visual Arts, showing examples of houses with different shapes
and styles to inspire creativity. Next, learners will spend 5 minutes lightly sketching their dream house
on recycled cardboard using pencil, planning the placement of walls, roofs, doors, and windows. During
the next 15 minutes, they will cut or tear recycled paper to create features such as roof tiles, bricks,
windows, gardens, and pathways, pasting them onto their sketched outline to build a textured collage.
They will be encouraged to think innovatively, for example using torn paper to create grass textures or
rolled pieces to create window frames. In the final 5 minutes, learners will use one coloured medium
(crayon) to emphasise specific parts of their collage, such as colouring flowers, outlining the roof, or
highlighting doors and window frames to add depth and vibrancy. Through this process, learners will
learn about architectural shapes and spatial arrangement, improve their cutting and pasting skills, and
develop creative problem-solving by transforming simple recycled materials into a personalised,
imaginative artwork. The activity fits neatly into a 30-minute session, ensuring clear instructions, active
artmaking, and

1.2 Provide the Grade, Term, Topic, Theme and CAPS page number where your activity fits
in.
This activity is designed for Grade 5 learners in Term 3, under the Visual Arts topic “Creating
in 2D: Collage and Mixed Media.” The theme is “Architecture – Designing your own house,”
which encourages learners to explore how shapes and forms combine to create functional
and aesthetic structures. According to the CAPS document on page 48, this activity aligns
with the Creative Arts curriculum that requires learners to use mixed media approaches,
integrate drawing with other techniques such as collage, and engage with their environment
as inspiration.
