Leatherwork
Leatherwork: thronging technique
- Leather is obtained from hides and skins of animals.
- Large animals like cattle and others with hair give hides.
- Smaller animals like young one of calves, goats give us skins.
- Leather is used to make traditional items like musical instruments (drum), bags, hats, furniture, jewellery, sheaths.
Sources of leather
- Skins e.g from goat
- Hides e.g from cow
Leather items
- Drums
- Shields
- Hats
- Bags
- Masks
Collecting traditional leather items
You can collect hides or skin from the local environment.
Thronging technique
- Before making an article from leather, a design should be laid out and the different pieces cut out carefully.
- The various pieces are then joined together either by gluing or sewing.
- Articles can also be stitched together using strips of leather called thongs.
- The technique of joining two or more pieces of leather using thongs for lacing when making an article is referred to as thonging

- The internal shape of every drum is what gives it the quality of sound produced.
- Drum produce sound by beating.
How to cut thongs
- Thongs should be stretchable as possible
- The best way to cut thongs is either diagonally or in a circular way if the piece of lather available can allow.
- By cutting this way the thong will not be cut easily when stretched during lacing.
- Look for old leather item
- Cut out a big piece from the item
- Lay your piece of leather on a flat surface
- Measure the size of the thong needed and mark using a pen
- Using a pair of scissors, cut the strips as accurate as possible.
Process of making a drum
- Cut out leather pieces so that they are slightly wider than the container for making the resonator of the drum.
- Make similar number of holes on the cut out leather for the top and bottom pieces
- Cut out the thongs for joining the top and bottom pieces of leather.
- Place the cut out leather at the top and bottom
- Use the thongs to lace the pieces of leather firmly in place.

Picture Making - Grade 4 Art and Craft Revision Notes
Picture Making
- Picture making involves the application of various methods such as painting, drawing, collage and montage.
Drawing
- It is making pictures using lines and shades.
Smudge technique
Drawing using smudge technique
- In a picture, there are dark and light areas.
- The areas that appear dark are those that are hidden from light.
- The areas that appear light are the ones exposed to light.
- This means that colours on the side where light is coming from have a lighter tyone and colours in areas away from the light have a darker tone.
Drawing through smudge technique
- Smudging is smearing colour onto a surface.
- It is achieved when you smear or rub a pencil, crayon or charcoal onto a paper.
- When a pencil, crayon, charcoal or chalk is rubbed onto a surface, different tones are created.
- We create the different tones in a drawing by rubbing a pencil, crayon or charcoal much less on the paper.
- When rubbed much and hard, a dark tone is made and when less rubbing is done, there is a lighter tone
Materials need for smudge technique
- Ruler
- Paper or drawing book
- Sharpener
- Pencil
- Rubber
- Crayon
- Charcoal
- Chalk
Tonal graduation strip
Pupil’s activity
Page 3-4
Creating value graduation
- Graduation is a change of tone from either dark to light of from light to dark.
- The change can either be blended or staggered.
- In blending the tone flows into one another smoothly from dark to light or from light t dark without any break.
- In staggered tone, there is clear break between each tone. In this way you are able to see the end of each tone.
- It can also be done by rubbing a pencil, charcoal, chalk and crayon onto paper.
- For dark tones, more pressure is applied and rubbing done for longer time.
- For light tones, less pressure is applied and rubbing done for longer time.
- For light tones, less pressure is applied for a shorter time.
- You can rub using circular, horizontal or vertical movements.
- In order to see how the tone changes, you need to draw a value graduation done.

Basketry is the art of making containers and other items using flexible fibres.
Coil And Stitch Technique
- It is the art of coiling materials and sticking them together using a needle and thread to make an item.
Samples Of Coil And Stitch Items
- There are two types of coils
- Plaited coils – are made by braiding two or more strands of a material to make a pattern.
- Roiled coils – are made by roiling strands of materials together
- Items made using the coil and stitch technique are made using any suitable materials that can be rolled e.g. banana fibres, palm leaves
- In weaving, the materials used are interlaced vertically and horizontally on a loom to form an item.
- The vertical threads are called warps and the horizontal threads are the wefts orfillings.
- In basketry, one does not use a loom.
- In the coil and stitch technique, the materials are rolled in a circular form and stitched together using a needle and a string.
Selecting Materials For Coil And Stitch Technique
- Coil and stitch materials can be sourced from
- natural materials or
- man-made materials
- Natural materials are those that can be found in the environment
- Man-made materials include synthetic.
Man-made materials | Natural materials |
Nylon Carbon fibre Polyester Yarn Acrylic yarn |
Raffia Wool Silk Reeds Cane Banana fibres sisal |
- Materials used in coil and stitch technique should be flexible and easy to roil to form the coils needed.
- When selecting materials to make a door mat using the coil and stitch technique, consider whether they are
- Durable
- easy to clean and
- non slippery.
- Always use non slippery materials to avoid slip and fall accidents
Preparing Selected Materials For Coil And Stitch Technique
- There are different ways fo preparing materials to be used to make an item using the coil and stitch technique.
- They include
- Dyeing
- Plaiting
- Tearing
Methods Of Preparing Selected Materials For Coil And Stitch Technique
- Tearing methods
- Involves splitting materials such as banana fibres into thin strips for easier use.
- This can be done using your hands or a fibre stripper.
- Dyeing
- Is the process of changing the original colour of materials used to make an item to different colour.
- Plaiting
- Is a technique whereby strands of suitable materials such as rope or silk are braided together to make a single string of fibre.
- Stripping method
- Collected the suggested tools- Fibre stripper/basin/cutting tools/sisal/water
- Spilt the sisal stem into thin strips that can fit in the fibre stripper.
- Place the sisal strips in the middle of the fibre stripper and pull them through to get sisal fibre.
- Wash the fibre using clean water
- Dry the washed sisal fibre in the open sun.
What to consider when coiling and stitching an item.

- The part of a painting that attracts your attention is known as centre of interest.
You can create centre of interest in painting by
- Making a particular object bigger than the rest.
- Using colours that contrast (different colours)
- Placing an object at the centre of the painting.
- Painting the actual size and shape of an object compared to another is called proportionality.
- On the painting surface objects that are near you should be placed lower and be bigger in size while objects far from you should be placed higher and smaller in size.
- This helps to create depth and make the painting look real.
Creating Tonal Value In Painting
- In painting an object can be made to look real by varying the lightness and darkness of the colours used.
- The lightness or darkness of colour is also known as the tonal value of the colour.
- Tonal value is created using shading and tinting techniques.
- Shading involves adding black to a colour to make it look dark.
- Tinting involves adding white colour to a colour to make it light.
- The addition of black or white colour creates tonal variation.
- In order to create tonal value effect when painting, identify the direction of light reflecting on the object.
- Apply dark colour paint of the object that you want to be dark and use white colour on areas that you want to be light. Merge the two colours gradually.
