Week 3 - Methods, evidence and practice: Art, Craft and Design
Methods, evidence and practice for Art, Craft and Design. Read the course overview, connect the theme to an African case or community context, complete the guided activity, and bring one question to the live studio.
What you will learn
By the end of this lesson, learners can explain the main idea in Art, Craft and Design; connect it to an African context; use one subject method or piece of evidence; and communicate one reasoned conclusion.
Look at these examples
Suggested examples for Art, Craft and Design: a local community practice, an African institution or professional setting, a relevant historical or contemporary case, and one comparison with learners' own experience. Teachers should invite examples from Nairobi, Accra, Dakar, Lagos, Johannesburg or the learners' home communities.
Try it yourself
Learner activity: make a one-page response for Art, Craft and Design. Start with what you already know, investigate one local example, compare two viewpoints, create a small artefact or worked solution, and share your reasoning with a peer or family member.
Use these resources
Use the course overview, a library or community source, teacher-provided notes, a notebook, and an offline alternative where internet or equipment is limited. Record the source and distinguish observation from opinion.
Teaching methodology
Begin with a local question and invite learners to share what they already know. Model one example from Art, Craft and Design, then use a short explain-and-demonstrate cycle. Move into guided pair or small-group practice, check understanding with an oral or written response, and close by connecting the lesson to community knowledge and the next unit.
