Lesson summary

This topic introduces Primary 4 learners to the fundamental concepts of colours and textures, which are essential elements of art and design. Understanding colours and textures enables students to observe their environment with greater appreciation, express themselves creatively, and make informed choices in daily life, such as selecting clothing, decorating spaces, or appreciating traditional Nigerian crafts.
