As part of the CAPS Grade R to 5 for learners with Severe Intellectual Disability, we offer Art and Crafts to all the Senior Phase learners.
The subject Art and Crafts aims to equip learners in:
- Making a variety of marketable craft products.
- Understanding and skillfully using basic art elements and principles.
- Producing a sequence of the same product using hand-held tools.
- Costing and pricing craft products for a sustainable craft enterprise.
- Developing entrepreneurial awareness within the craft enterprise.
In our Art & Craft lessons we teach our learners to use items they may find in their environment to make pieces of art, and to use these skills at home as well, as a leisure activity.
