Your school principal has asked you to present a showcase for Heritage Day at
your school. She wants learners not only to create artwork suited for the event
but also to present an art discussion to help create cross-cultural
appreciation. You have decided to let your Grade 5 Creative Arts class discuss
African textiles according to art elements and principles, as well as the history
of the fabric, as part of the showcase.
• Explain how you will facilitate the lesson where learners will evaluate
different tribes’ fabric and report on the visual qualities (Elements of art and
principles of design) of each in preparation for the showcase.
Facilitating the Lesson on African Textiles
To facilitate the lesson on African textiles, you can follow these steps:
, Introduction to African Textiles: Begin by introducing the concept of African textiles to
the students. Explain that textiles are an important form of art in many African
cultures and are often used to convey cultural and historical significance.
Selection of Textiles: Choose a variety of textiles from different African tribes, such as
Kente cloth from the Ashanti tribe, Mudcloth from the Bambara tribe, and Shweshwe
fabric from the Xhosa tribe. These textiles were chosen for their distinct visual
qualities and cultural significance.
Discussion of Elements of Art and Principles of Design: Teach the students about the
elements of art (such as color, line, shape, and texture) and the principles of design
(such as balance, unity, and rhythm). Discuss how these elements and principles are
manifested in the selected textiles.
Group Evaluation: Divide the students into groups, assigning each group a different
textile to evaluate. Provide them with images of the textiles and ask them to report
on the visual qualities of the textiles based on the elements of art and principles of
design. Encourage them to discuss the use of color, patterns, and symbolism in the
textiles.
Presentation Preparation: Have each group prepare a presentation on their assigned
textile, including information about the tribe it represents, the history of the fabric,
and its cultural significance. Encourage them to use visuals and examples to support
their findings.
• Include images, that you will use in class, of the textiles chosen, which tribe
they represent and why they were chosen as part of preparing learners for the
showcase. (10)
