Step-by-Step Approach
(Direct Instruction)
The teacher demonstrate how to draw a face one step at a
time.
Each student is expected to do as per teacher‟s instruction
and the teacher can only move on to the next step once
students say that they are done.
One- Demo Approach (Direct
Instruction, Exploratory Learning)
The teacher demonstrates all steps, then students try
to imitate from memory. In the process, students also
have an opportunity to explore.
Artistic Creative Process( Inquiry-
Based, Exploratory Learning)
Teacher poses a challenge, then students explore,
envision and solve.
This process involves more input from the artist and
requires envisioning.
This enables the artist to apply the concepts and
techniques learned from the previous lesson.

Approach Process
o Works on the students with o Sometimes students ask to o May require more time,
slowest pace repeat if they forget a step or sometimes more than one
o More time consuming cannot make it work session
o Does not promote exploration o Prone to student mistakes o Some students might get
and envisioning frustrated
o Teacher must strategically
facilitate learning by planning
carefully
