Shanty Megastructures - Lekan Jeyifo

For the Grade 11s and 12s....



I was blown away by these images of  an future African urban landscape ... a somewhat dystopian vision though.
Read the article and consider this futurist theme when investigating ideas of HOME and also MAYHEM & MOVEMENT.

The movement towards chaos and disorder often results in a dystopian vision of the future, as humans (usually) strive to order their lives in the opposite direction.

You could easily use Mixed Media &/OR Photoshop to create your own imagined informal settlement landscapes.

We call this ‘Perspective drawing’.

Practical Assessment Task 3 [Term 3 - 2016] Topic A: The sourcebook

Topic A: The sourcebook


The theme for PAT3 is taken from a past National Matric Practical Exam paper, BUT it also has special relevance to both your teachers. Mrs Moore took part in a special group exhibition at the KZNSA Gallery - entitled 'HOME', and Miss de Vries worked extensively on this theme for her Master's dissertation.

The resources for this PAT can be found in your Classroom and the links can also be found below:
