WEEK ONE

TOPIC: PATTERN

MEANING OF PATTERN

Pattern refers to an arrangement of a regular and repeated motif from nature, abstract and geometric shape. A single motif either in natural, abstracted or geometric form can be made to feature severally to form a pattern, coupled with other visual elements like line and colour. This emphasizes the principle of art and design called repetition. A motif is the basic unit of a design which further repeated several times to form a pattern.

TYPES OF PATTERN

There are various types of repeat pattern namely;

1. MIRROR REPEAT PATTERN
2. COUNTER CHANGE REPEAT PATTERN
3. FULL DROP REPEAT PATTERN
4. HALF DROP REPEAT PATTERN
5. CHECKERBOARD REPEAT PATTERN
6. SIMPLE REPEAT PATTERN
7. DIAMOND REPEAT PATTERN

HOW TO CREATE A PATTERN

Step 1. Make several thumbnail sketches or roughs of a specific motif .

Step 2. Select the best motif that you feel is suitable for the main pattern work.

Step 3. Get the necessary materials for the pattern work.

Step 4. Mount a half imperial cardboard sheet on the drawing board and fix the edges of the cardboard firmly on the drawing board.

Step 5. Prepare the enlarged layout plan on the cardboard where the main pattern work is to be done .Use lines to split the inner space into sections. This is based on the dimension given to you by the teacher.

Step 6. Develop the selected motif in the unit of repeat.

Step 7. Use a tracing paper to copy the selected motif from the unit of repeat and begin to transfer the chosen motif repeated within the inner space of the enlarged layout plan

Step 8. Test the colours to determine those that are suitable for painting the motifs and the surrounding space. Create a colour chat in the unit of repeat to serve as a guide while painting.

Step 9. Begin to apply the necessary colours using sable brush to beautify the background or outer space before applying colours on the repeated motifs.

DEFINITION OF KEY SIGNATURE

Key signature refers to a set of marks in form of musical signs like sharp and flat, introduced just before the treble and bass clef or at the beginning of a musical staff of a printed manuscript to indicate the key a musical piece is.

TOPIC: INTERVALS

DEFINITION: Interval is the distance in pitch between two notes in music. Interval is also the tonal gap between two notes.The interval in a musical piece is determined by counting from the root note to the top note.For example,in the scale of C major, the root note C is the 1st and the eight note C above is the octave,which is the 8th interval.The notes between the 1st note and the 8th note are included in the counting.

KINDS OF INTERVAL

1. Harmonious interval
2. Melodic interval

HOW TO DETERMINE INTERVALS NUMERICALLY

As stated previously,the interval is determined within a musical piece by counting the notes starting from the root note to the top note. Examples are as follows.

2. G up to D is a 5th

QUALITIES OF INTERVALS

The five qualified names of interval are as follows.

WEEK NINE

TOPIC: TIE-DYE

DEFINITION OF TIE-DYE

Tie-dye is a textile craft which in a plain cotton fabric is tied at various points with raffia and dipped into a dye solution. The tied fabric takes the colour of the dye stuff after completing the dyeing process and when untied has beautiful designs formed on it. In tie-dye, the resist material is raffia and waxed thread, which prevent the dye solution from penetrating certain areas of the firmly tied fabric.

METHODS OF TYING FABRIC

1. Circle tying: Pick the fabric away from the middle point and tie it tightly with raffia at regular intervals. This tying process can be done repeatedly all over the fabric.
2. Clumb tying: Solid materials like pebbles, bottle tops and pieces of wood cut into different shapes and sizes are placed on fabric, wrapped and tied at various areas firmly with raffia.
3. Marbling: Fabric is rolled into a ball like shape and tied randomly or in no specific order after it has been first straightened out and gathered together casually..
4. Stitching: It involves the use of needle and thread to make stitches of intricate designs on fabric.
5. Knotting: Pick the fabric at the edges and free areas then knot it firmly.
6. Pleating: Fabric is folded systematically in accordion style. After successfully folding the fabric, twine or raffia is used to tie the fabric at intervals.

LOCATION OF TIE-DYE

Tie-dye is practiced in Sokotoand Abeokuta in Ogun state.

EVALUATION

1. What is tie and dye?
2. List four tying techniques in tie and dye.

TOPIC:SINGING AND RECORDER PLAYING

CONSTRUCTION OF F AND G MAJOR SCALE

1. F MAJOR SCALE
2. G MAJOR SCALE

DEFINITION OF SCALE: Scale is a group of notes in succession. Scale is also a set of any keys ordered by a particular frequency or pitch.The two types of scale include major and minor scale. There are fifteen major scales. The types of minor scale include melodic minor scale and harmonic minor scale.

In all major scales, semitones occur between the 3rd and 4th, 7th and 8th degrees. Accidentals must be introduced just before the note to preserve the correct order of tones and semitones in all major and minor scale.

F MAJOR SCALE

F major is a flat key in the major scale that has one flattened key as it key signature and accidental. The flattened key in F major is B.

G MAJOR SCALE: Construction of the scale of G major in the treble clef starting from the mediant using accidental. The sharpened key in the scale of G major is C.

The sharp sign introduced just before the note (semibreve) raises the pitch of the note in C by a semitone. The sharp introduced just before the note in C is called accidental.
