Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners are to:

- display artworks by hanging, draping, placing, spreading, leaning, using plinths to raise or add height and depth to some exhibits
- label the works using manual penmanship (calligraphy) or ICT (computer) prints (e.g. name of artist, title of work, size of work, date of production).
- assign tasks and responsibilities to themselves (individually or in groups) and ensure they are carried out successfully (e.g. leading visitors through the exhibition space, explaining the concepts/title of the artworks and the theme for the exhibition, writing of comments and signing of visitors books);
NOTE
