Description¶

The researchers designed and developed instructional resources from paper, plastic and fabric waste for teaching Colour, Perspective, Figure Drawing, Elements and Principles of Design, and Weaving at Primary, Junior and Senior High levels, including a "12-point colour wheel" and perspective and weaving models. The resources were tested by 14 Art teachers in five Kumasi schools, and the article concludes that "waste materials can be recycled to create appropriate instructio nal resources for effective teaching and learning of Art". Teachers who had not been contacted also requested to use them.

Design Implications¶
