APPRECIATION OF ART AND DESIGN

Drawing from what I see

1. In your art book/sketch pad make a representation of the details of an object you have observed from your surroundings.
2. Share your report with your friend and discuss how the lines formulated the shape of the objects.

The natural environment dictates what to use to make art. The materials to use and the ideas presented in art works will be part of the life of the people. This is called ‘culture’. Culture is the way people live which is dictated by where they live. Your environment has a big influence on what you do and what you use in daily life.

You have enjoyed a tour around your surrounding environment. You must have seen objects of different appearances in shapes, sizes and colour. Can you describe objects you have seen?

To describe an object requires an interpretation as a response. You need to know what to use to describe or interpret an object.

After going through Section one, you realized that the natural environment provides us with the materials we need to make life enjoyable.

Various art works can be made from natural materials to serve different purposes in our societies. Since we cannot do without the environment it is our personal responsibility to responsibly use, maintain and improve on it.
