Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners are to:
- decide on the types and number of artworks to exhibit and mount them based on the space available to suit the theme for the exhibition (e.g. artworks that best reflect the natural and manmade environment of some communities of Ghana);
- 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: 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
