Reference Materials

The following resources were used in planning this lesson:

9 Years Basic Education Curriculum
Abuja Educational Resource Centre Scheme of work
NAPPS National Unified Scheme of Work
Online information from: Wikipedia – Shape
Relevant Textbooks

Instructional Materials

The teacher will teach this lesson with the aid of:

Drawing books
Rulers and pencils
Colouring materials (crayons, markers, paints)
Chart papers with geometric shapes
Flash cards with lines and patterns
Real-life objects shaped like circles, squares, and triangles

Rationale for the Lesson

Understanding the formation of shapes through lines helps pupils develop creative expression, drawing skills, and appreciation of art in daily life.

Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge

Pupils can already draw simple lines and have seen different shapes in their environment like balls, books, and rooftops.

Lesson Content

Formation of Shapes and Painting

Shapes are made when we join lines together. We can use straight or curved lines to form different designs. These shapes can also be painted with bright colours.

Types of Lines

Lines are marks we draw on paper. They help us to create shapes.

The following are types of lines:

Straight line
Curved line
Zigzag line
Wavy line
Dotted line

Formation of Shapes

We use lines to make different shapes. Shapes are the basic forms we see in designs. Examples are:

Circle
Square
Triangle
Rectangle
Oval

Painting of Shapes

After drawing shapes, we can paint them with colours. Colours make our designs attractive and beautiful. The following are examples of painting shapes:

Painting a circle with red
Painting a square with blue
Painting a triangle with yellow
Painting a rectangle with green
Painting an oval with orange

Teaching Methods

Discussion, Lecture, Explanation, Demonstration, Group Work, Visual Aids

Instructional Procedures

To deliver this lesson, the teacher will adopt the following steps:

Step 1: Introduction

Time: 5 mins
Teaching Skill: Set Induction
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher shows pupils objects like a ball, book, and roof and asks them to name their shapes.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils observe and respond by naming the shapes.
Learning Point: Pupils connect real-life objects with shapes.

Step 2: Types of Lines

Time: 7 mins
Teaching Skill: Explanation
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher draws different lines on the board and explains each one.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils observe, identify, and repeat the names of lines.
Learning Point: Pupils learn the types of lines.

Step 3: Formation of Shapes

Time: 8 mins
Teaching Skill: Demonstration
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher uses lines to form circle, square, triangle, rectangle, and oval on the board.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils copy and form shapes in their books.
Learning Point: Pupils understand how to form shapes with lines.

Step 4: Painting of Shapes

Time: 7 mins
Teaching Skill: Demonstration
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher shows pupils how to paint shapes with different colours.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils paint their drawn shapes with given colours.
Learning Point: Pupils learn to beautify shapes using colours.

Step 5: Note Taking

Time: 5 mins
Teaching Skill: Reinforcement
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher dictates key notes on types of lines, formation, and painting of shapes.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils copy notes correctly.
Learning Point: Pupils keep a record of lesson notes.

Step 6: Evaluation

Time: 5 mins
Teaching Skill: Questioning
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher asks pupils to draw and paint at least three shapes.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils attempt the task individually.
Learning Point: Pupils demonstrate their understanding of the lesson.

Objective-aligned checks:

Identify different lines and use them to form simple geometric shapes.
Draw straight and curved lines to create circles, squares, and triangles.

Step 7: Conclusion

Time: 3 mins
Teaching Skill: Closure
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher reviews the lesson, praises pupils’ effort, and reminds them that lines and shapes are important in art.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen and participate in closing remarks.
Learning Point: Pupils reflect on the importance of lines and shapes.

Home Task: Describe or illustrate one lesson example of Formation Of Shapes And Painting and include one safety or performance rule. Do not practise a risky activity without adult supervision.

Lesson Keywords

Line: A mark drawn on a surface
Shape: A form made by joining lines
Circle: A round shape without corners
Square: A shape with four equal sides
Triangle: A shape with three sides

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

Mention two types of lines.
Draw a circle and a square.
Name three examples of shapes.
Paint a triangle with any colour.
Explain one importance of painting shapes.

Differentiation

Teacher supports slower learners with guided hand-holding while allowing faster learners to assist peers in drawing and painting shapes.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Use bright colours and real-life objects to make the lesson more interesting. Encourage pupils to practice drawing at home for better improvement.
