QUESTION 1: Visual Arts Activity Design
1.1 Visual Arts Activity Description
For this activity, Grade 5 learners will create an “Animal Mask Collage” using only recycled cardboard or
cereal boxes, paper, pencil, and a single coloured medium such as crayon. The lesson will begin with a 5-
minute introduction where I will explain what a collage is, showing learners examples of animal artworks
created using layering techniques to inspire their imagination. I will also discuss the importance of
recycling and how artists often use available materials to create meaningful art. Learners will then spend
20 minutes designing their masks by first lightly sketching an outline of their chosen animal’s face on the
recycled cardboard. They can choose animals such as lions, leopards, rabbits, owls, or even create an
imaginary creature to express creativity.
After sketching, they will cut or tear recycled paper or cardboard pieces to create the eyes, ears, nose,
mouth, and any special features, sticking them onto the base mask to build up layers and textures. Finally,
in the last 5 minutes, learners will use the crayon to add colourful accents such as stripes, spots, or fur
patterns to emphasise key features of their masks and create visual interest. This activity will teach them
practical collage techniques, environmental awareness, the importance of recycling in art-making, and
how to use texture and emphasis to communicate meaning in their artworks. It fits perfectly within a
