Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.3.3.LI.2 - Compose appropriate treatments of constituent parts for forms of recognition and abstraction.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and name the constituent parts (head, torso, limbs, features, or geometric components) of at least three figurative and abstract forms found in their school compound or community.
Explain at least two different treatments (stylisation, exaggeration, simplification, distortion) that can be applied to the constituent parts of a form for purposes of recognition or abstraction.
Brainstorm in small groups and select appropriate treatments for the constituent parts of a chosen subject to create a recognisable or abstract composition.
Produce a group composition (drawing or painting) that demonstrates deliberate treatment of constituent parts, showing understanding of both recognition and abstraction.
Present and justify the treatment choices made in their composition, using appropriate art vocabulary during group critique.
