Learners are free to choose any artistic form or work plan and execute the assignment. - Supervise and encourage learners to work systematically. - As learners work together, they become team players who learn to tolerate, value and work in a democratic and inclusive atmosphere. - With learners, plan an exhibition for their work to enhance creativity and personal development.
