Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.1.2.LI.2 - Discuss the basic methods and techniques in creating 2-D and 3-D art and design works

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

  1. Distinguish between 2-dimensional (2-D) and 3-dimensional (3-D) art and design works by identifying their key features and giving two examples of each from their local environment.
  2. Describe at least five basic methods and techniques used in creating 2-D art works, such as drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and mosaic, and match each method to appropriate materials.
  3. Describe at least five basic methods and techniques used in creating 3-D art works, such as modelling, carving, casting, construction and assemblage, and match each method to appropriate materials.
  4. Work collaboratively in groups to produce a spidergram that organises 2-D and 3-D methods, techniques and potential materials, and present their findings clearly to the class.
  5. Select an appropriate method and technique to create a simple 2-D or 3-D artwork using locally available materials, and justify their choice of method and materials.
