Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.1.2.LI.2 - Analyse how selected analogue and digital media in nature and the built environment contribute to solving societal problems through the artworks they are used to create.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and classify at least five analogue media and five digital media found in nature and the built environment in their local area.
Explain, with specific examples, how at least three analogue media (e.g., clay, wood, fabric) and three digital media (e.g., design software, digital cameras, 3D printers) are used to create artworks that solve societal problems.
Analyse a selected artwork from Ghana’s built environment, describing the media used and the specific societal problem it addresses or solves.
Work collaboratively in mixed-ability groups to document (through photographs, sketches, or video) five examples of media-based artworks in their environment and present findings to the class.
Propose one original artwork or design idea that uses either analogue or digital media to solve a specific problem in their school or community, justifying their media choice.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Group Work/Collaborative Learning: - In groups with mixed abilities, record and discuss the nature of selected analogue and digital media in the environment - In convenient groups and based on the group's research project, discuss analogue and digital media and tools for art and design as the basis to produce art and designs to solve societal problems. Group Work/ Collaborative Learning/Project-Based Learning: In mixed-ability groups, generate realia, scrapbook, photography and videos of possible artworks and designs created with analogue and digital media to solve societal problems in your environment Self-directed Learning; Group Work/ Collaborative Learning/Problem-Based Learning: Individually or in small mixed-ability groups, analyse various artworks done with analogue and digital media as a basis for creating your ideas and artworks and designs to solve specific problems in society for class presentations and appreciation.
