What Is Bead Making

bead is a small, decorative object that is formed in a variety of shapes and sizes of a material such as stone, bone, shell, glass, plastic, wood or pearl and that a small hole is drilled for threading or stringing.Beads range in size from under 1 millimeter (0.039 in) to over 1 centimeter (0.39 in) in diameter.

how to make Nigerian beads

1.Different Types Of Bead Designs:

  • Rondelles, bugle and seed beads remind little tubes, available in small sizes and good for delicate samples.
  • Chatons are little crystals that guarantee sparkling effect.
  • Faceted beads create sparkling effect thanks to numerous  flat sides.
  • Flatbacks are crystals flat on one side that can be applied with glue.
  • Gem beads are semi-precious and often include natural gemstone.
  • Pearls are the most desired beads, consistent in size and finish and sometimes different in colors.

When beads are ready, choose the technique.

  • Crimping bead technique. Crimping bead technique is mostly used for making necklace and bracelet. It is the art of compressing a crimp bead to hold all the components of a piece of jewelry together.
  • Plain wire loop technique. Plain wire loops are basics for beginners. Thread a bid onto an eyepin and fix it, then attach to another one.
  • Wire technique. Not complicated, but it requires concentration. Cut a piece of wire and string beads with the help of loop.
  • Pearl knotting technique. It is similar to the previous one, but it uses a thread and knot after every bead.
  • Roll papers of various colours can be used to make beaded jewelries.Roll paper beads can be make through the following process. Get a desired paper and roll it into desired shape and size. –Close the edges of the rolled papers with gum or staple pin.– Use a needle and a thread to string the rolled papers into the desired lenght to make a chain of beads.
  • Glass materials of various colours can be used to make beads jewelries.Beaded jewellry can be made with glass through the following process. : gather broken glass — Melt the broken glass in a furnace — pour the melted glass into a mould. — remove from mould when cold — use thread or string to string the beads formed to make desired jewelry.

2.Bead Making Tools

. The materials include beads and wire for them, head and eye pins, crimps, covers and cutters for them, different types of pliers, a ruler and clasps.

2. How To Make Beads Necklace.

THE NIGERIAN TRADITIONAL ARTS

INTRODUCTION: Nigeria is blessed with many tribes, languages, dialect, and different cultures that are very rich. Those cultures reflected in the art of these different people or ethnic groups. Nigerian is one of the Africa countries that had been in the forefront in making impact in the arts of the entire African continent. Nigeria arts are expressed in various forms-stylized, naturalistic and symbolic. Such symbols like the ancestral spirits and diseases are common in the traditional Nigerian artworks. Before the advent of the European, the likes of Nok, Ife, Benin cultures are known to the historians mainly because of the objects found in the these areas(Nok villages, Ife town and Benin town). All these traditional arts will be further discussed under the following sub-headings: location, date, medium/ media, historical background/ discovery, characteristics and examples.

 THE NOK CULTURE

Location: The nok arts is located within the sub Saharan area such as Wamba, Jemma, Kagoro and old Abuja in Kaduna very close to Jos. It was an historian in person of Bernard Fagg who named the art works after the village NOK. Nok represents the oldest of the sculpture tradition in Nigeria andAfrica.

Date: The Nok culture has been dated back conservatively between 500BC and 300 B.C.

Medium: The Nok culture was produced in terracotta (i.e a fired clay that turns brownish in colour ).

Size: The size ranges from 10cm and 1.5meters.

Historical background/ discovery: There are two schools of taught concerning the discovery of Nok arts, first and foremost Nok art was discovered by an historian in person  of Bernard Fagg from British museum in 1952.

Topic: COLOUR THEORY

Learning Objectives: by the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

-define colour

-identify the classes of colour

-state how to obtain secondary colours

-explain what colour spectrum is

Introduction: we are very much surrounded by colour within our immediate environment and in nature. we live with colour daily in as much as we can see.It is easier to remember colour of an object more than its shape or form.

Definition: colour is a sensation created in the eyes by the rays of decomposed light.

The study of science has shown that colour could only be seen in the presence of light. Sir Isaac Newton in 1666,discovered the colour of the spectrum through the use of a scientific material called prism. prism is defined as a scientific material made up of block of transparent glasses cut into different shapes. This was exposed to the rays of light for few minutes after which there was emergence of rainbow colours (ROYGBIV),ie spectrum colour(the sequential arrangement of colours).

CLASSES OF COLOUR

Colour is classified into six varying classes which include :

  • Primary colours: these are otherwise known as the basic and original colours through which all other colours are formed,eg,red,blue and yellow.
  • Secondary colours: these are mixture of two primary colours in equal proportion,eg,red +blue=violet/purple; red+yellow=orange; yellow +blue= green.
  • Tertiary colours:these are colours gotten from the mixture of two secondary colour. The dominating colours are the tertiary colours, eg ,orange + purple= reddish brown. ie (R+Y)+(R+B)=R(Y+B).which means red is the dominating colour while yellow and blue are the neutralizers.
  • Complimentary colours: these are colours that are directly opposite each other in the colour wheel eg red compliments green; violet compliments yellow; blue compliments orange.
  • Intermediate colours : they are known to be the mixture of one primary and a neighbouring secondary colour. Example, red and orange,blue and green,blue and purple,etc.
  • Harmonious colours: these are colours that agree so well with each other when put into use side by side. eg red and purple, orange and yellow,green and blue, etc.
  • CLASS ACTIVITIES
  • 1. define colour
  • 2. explain the formation tertiary colours
  • 3. draw and paint the primary and secondary colour wheel.

              WAYS OF DISCOURAGING THE SALE OF FAKE AND ADULTERATED GOODS

  1. BE PATRIOTIC: the love and support of the country will make people to stop producing and selling fake and adulterated goods. Being patriotic means love for one’s country and willing to sacrifice for its development. An individual that love his country will not adulterate genuine and valuable goods.
  2. SHOW LOVE FOR OTHER PEOPLE: Individuals should show kindness, compassion and concern for the betterment of other.
  3. BE HONEST: a producer that produce quality goods or products will be patronized anytime the need arises .
  4. PARTNER WITH TRADE ASSOCIATION AND REGULATORY
    By partnering with trade associations related to goods branding, products can be protected. Some trade associations have developed mechanisms to conduct periodic checks on products of their members. Also, working closely with regulatory agencies like NAFDAC and SON who are empowered by law to apprehend and prosecute counterfeiters will go a long way in protecting products through their market raids and clean up.
  5. KNOW YOUR RIGHT AS A CONSUMER: It is good to know that the law protects yours right as a consumer.
  6. RESPECT AUTHORITY: Being considerate and doing things that are legal and respect can stop the sale of fake and adulterated goods.  

QUESTION

List two ways on how sales of fake and adulterated products can be discourage.

    DATE DELIVERED: 13/7/2020                                             

                                            FAKE AND ADULTERATED GOODS

   Fake goods are goods that are produced to imitate genuine and authentic goods. They are produced to deceive and defraud buyers.

Adulterated goods are goods that are made impure by adding inferior materials and re-processing them. Materials that are cheap and less of quality are used to adulterate good products during the addition or reproduction. The goods that are made impure through this process are called adulterated goods.

GOODS OFTEN FAKED AND ADULTERATED

  1. MEDICINE
  2. PROCESSED FOOD
  3. CLOTHING
  4. FABRIC
  5. WINE
  6. OLIVE OIL
  7. HONEY and more.

REASONS WHY PEOPLE PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE FAKE AND ADULTERATED GOODS

1 Corruption, greed and conflict of interest

Corrupt practices among law enforcement personnel and the involvement of some greedy high ranking government officials in the manufacture and distribution of fake drugs has to a great extent affected the efficiency of Drug Regulatory Agencies (DRAs) in checkmating the manufacture and distribution of fake drug products. This has made it difficult for DRAs to arrest, prosecute or sanction culprits..

2.  Inefficient cooperation between drug regulatory authorities and stakeholders

Ineffective cooperation existing between the drug regulatory authorities and other stakeholders like the judiciary, police and custom officials oftentimes delay arrests, judgments and sanctioning of culprits. This makes the control of drug markets and enforcement of drug laws very difficult.

3.Lack of patriotism

The lack of love for the country causes people to produce fake and adulterated goods. A patriotic citizen support and defends his country, he remains loyal to his homeland and refuses to adulterate pure and valuable goods.

4.  High cost of quality drug products

When prices of drug products are high and there are significant price differentials between genuine and fake products, counterfeiting may be encouraged (as large profit can be generated from the manufacture and supply cheap counterfeit drug products to consumers who most of the time cannot afford the high priced quality drug products from reputable sources).

5.  Ignorance and increase in self-medication culture

Ignorance, as a factor contributing to availability of fake drugs can be attributed to the literacy level of a given population. This is because it will be difficult for such people to differentiate genuine drug products from fake as they are easily enticed by the cheaper prices and easier accessibility from patronizing drug vendors. Some individuals still prefer to self-medicate when they are ill. They end up patronizing unlicensed drug vendors without bothering if the product is genuine or not.

 How to identify fake goods/products.

This can be extremely difficult, but where you can:
 1. Buy from vendors and supermarkets who have a reputation for testing products and follow          good labeling practices
 2. Buy whole products, such as pepper corns and coffee beans, and grind them yourself
 3. Ensure the name and address/contact details of the manufacturer is indicated on the packet and also look for recycling symbols and trademarks
4. Look for spelling errors in the description on the packet and also check the quality of the images or if the ink has run on the printing
 5. Be suspicious of labels that aren’t affixed neatly or don’t reflect the product in the packaging.

1.Briefly explain  fake and adulterated goods

2.State two way on how to spot fake goods.

                                               TEAMWORK

DEFINING A TEAM:A team is a group of people who collaborate on related tasks toward a common goal.

 Teams have defined membership (which can be either large or small) and a set of activities to take part in. People on a team collaborate on sets of related tasks that are required to achieve an objective. Each member is responsible for contributing to the team, but the group as a whole is responsible for the team’s success.

TEAMWORK: Teamwork involves a set of interdependent activities performed by individuals who collaborate toward a common goal.

Teamwork involves a set of tasks and activities performed by individuals who collaborate with each other to achieve a common objective. That objective can be creating a product, delivering a service, writing a report, or making a decision. Teamwork differs from individual work in that it involves shared responsibility for a final outcome

CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE TEAMWORK

Effective teamwork requires certain conditions to be in place that will increase the likelihood that each member’s contributions—and the effort of the group as a whole—will lead to success. Effective teams share five characteristics:

  • Shared values: a common set of beliefs and principles about how and why the team members will work together
  • Mutual trust: confidence between team members that each puts the best interest of the team ahead of individual priorities
  • Inspiring vision: a clear direction that motivates commitment to a collective effort
  • Skill/talent: the combined abilities and expertise to accomplish the required tasks and work productively with others
  • Rewards: recognition of achievement toward objectives and reinforcement of behavior that supports the team’s work.

IMPORTANCE OF TEAMWORK

The benefits of teamwork include increased efficiency, the ability to focus different minds on the same problem, and mutual support.

  • . Higher efficiency: Since teams combine the efforts of individuals, they can accomplish more than an individual working alone.
  • Faster speed: Because teams draw on the efforts of many contributors, they can often complete tasks and activities in less time.
  • More thoughtful ideas: Each person who works on a problem or set of tasks may bring different information and knowledge to bear, which can result in solutions and approaches an individual would not have identified.
  • Greater effectiveness: When people coordinate their efforts, they can divide up roles and tasks to more thoroughly address an issue. For example, in hospital settings teamwork has been found to increase patient safety more than when only individual efforts are made to avoid mishaps.
  • . Mutual support: Because team members can rely on other people with shared goals, they can receive assistance and encouragement as they work on tasks. Such support can encourage people to achieve goals they may not have had the confidence to have reached on their own.
  • Greater sense of accomplishment: When members of a team collaborate and take collective responsibility for outcomes, they can feel a greater sense of accomplishment when they achieve a goal they could not have achieved if they had worked by themselves.

 Teamwork leads to learning

  • Every individual has his own set of skills and strengths. When the whole team works as one unit, people can always avail opportunities to learn from others. This process leads to resource building as employees then become better equipped to deal with challenges

QUESTIONS

  1.  Define Teamwork
  2. Explain briefly how to achieve a set goal under the following importance:
  3. Greater sense of accomplishment.
  4. More thoughtful ideal.
  5. Fast outcome.

MACHE

MEANING OF PAPER MACHE

         PAPIER-MÂCHÉ. An art material made of paper strips soaked in a binder of starch or flour paste; it dries into a firm, hard substance. Papier-Mâché is widely used in the production of decorative objects and sculptures of great lightness, delicacy, and strength. It involves pounding paper pulp, mixing it with starch and molding  it into a desire object.

                              Materials and tools:
1. Large quatities of newspapers [Sheet to cover workspace and 1/2 dozen half sheets to each child]

2. Pan for Flour or wallpaper paste,starch.

3. Water

4.3 lengths of 12″ wire

5. Several 8″ to 10″ lengths of string

6.6 (ca.) lengths of pkging tape

7. Water-based paint

8. pestle and mortar.

9. mould

METHODS AND PROCESSES OF MAKING PAPER MACHE MODELS

Two main methods are used to prepare papier-mâché. The first method makes use of paper strips glued together with adhesive, and the other uses paper pulp obtained by soaking or boiling paper to which glue is then added.

With the first method, a form for support is needed on which to glue the paper strips. With the second method, it is possible to shape the pulp directly inside the desired form. In both methods, reinforcements with wire, chicken wire, lightweight shapes, balloons or textiles may be needed.

The traditional method of making papier-mâché adhesive is to use a mixture of water and flour or other starch, mixed to the consistency of heavy cream. Other adhesives can be used if thinned to a similar texture, such as polyvinyl acetate-based glues (often sold as wood glue or craft glue). Adding oil of cloves or other preservatives, such as salt, to the mixture reduces the chances of the product developing mold.

For the paper strips method, the paper is cut or torn into strips, and soaked in the paste until saturated. The saturated pieces are then placed onto the surface and allowed to dry slowly. The strips may be placed on an armature, or skeleton, often of wire mesh over a structural frame, or they can be placed on an object to create a cast. Oil or grease can be used as a release agent if needed. Once dried, the resulting material can be cut, sanded and/or painted, and waterproofed by painting with a suitable water-repelling paint.[1] Before painting any product of papier-mâché, the glue must be fully dried, otherwise mold will form and the product will rot from the inside out.

For the pulp method, the paper is left in water at least overnight to soak, or boiled in abundant water until the paper breaks down to a pulp. The excess water is drained, an adhesive is added and the papier-mâché applied to a form or, especially for smaller or simpler objects, sculpted to shape.

USES OF PAPER MACHE

    Paper mache are made for various purposes and uses, they include :

  1. They are made and sold for money
  2. They are used as decoration in offices ,houses and recreation centers.
  3. They are used as teaching  aids/ materials in the classroom.
  4. They are made as handiwork by student .
  5. They could be used as making moldels.

                                            TIE DYE

INTRODUCTION: Tie dye as the name implies, is the process of fabric design whereby part of a certain fabric are tied and dipped into dye solution to make the penetration of dye impossible within the tied areas, thereby creating fabulous designs on the fabric.

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TIE DYE

  • WORKSPACE – Indoor or outdoor space to set up the dyes – be prepared for some mess!
  • DYE – Commercial dye colors are best. For smaller quantities consider purchasing tie dye kits which have several colors in smaller quantities. Most kits come with applicator bottles.
  • FABRIC – Fabric or a clothing item to dye. Must be 100% cotton or natural fibers such as silk for the best results.  You can experiment with fabric blends, but do try them out first as they may not take the dye as well. Most dye packets will make enough color to do several articles so it is best to find a few articles to dye together. You could use the same colors but create different patterns on each article of clothing.
  • BUCKETS – Buckets or plastic containers to hold enough dye to dip the articles.  Plan on having one bucket for each color you decide to mix.
  • WATER – Hose or sink to rinse items in cold water. Don’t use plastic sinks as they may stain with the dye. Stainless steel sinks are best.
  • STIRRERS – Wooden spoon or dowel rods to stir fabrics. It will stain from the dye so use something disposable.
  • BANDS – Rubber bands or twines to tie the fabric. I prefer rubber bands as the dye does not penetrate it, leaving nice white bands in your final product.
  • GLOVES – Rubber gloves to stop your hands from getting stained.
  • MARBLES – Marbles are a great object to wrap into the fabric and tie.
  • TOOLS – Scissors and metal tongs.
  • CAUSTIC SODA AND SODIUM HYDROSULPHITE– these are the chemicals used for the production of dyeing solution.

PREPARATION OF DYE SOLUTION

This can be prepared using ratio 1:2:1, i.e. a spoonful of dye stuff, 2 spoonful of sodium hydrosulphite and 1 spoonful of caustic soda. All these would be put inside the dye bath and mixed with hot water. This can be stirred together with spatula so that it can dissolve properly for dyeing.

DEYING PROCESS

1. Get the fabric ready and fold into patterns.

2. Wash inside clean water to remove the necessary starch present in the fabric

3. Squeeze the fabric to remove the excess water in the fabric.

4. Dip the fabric inside the dye solution prepared with the glove in the hand.

5. Start turning until it reaches 15 mins.

6. Remove the fabric from the dyeing solution, and squeeze to remove the excess dye present in the fabric, and remove the string.

7. Rinse the fabric for three consecutive times.

QUESTIONS

  1. Explain the term tie dye.
  2. State the material used in tie dyeing.

                                             REVISION TOPIC: MAKING OF PAPER CRAFT

         MEANING OF PAPER CRAFT: Paper craft involves the use of paper in making craftworks.

          PAPER FOLDING: This is a way of getting desire paper products and folding them into desire d shape. The folding technique is one of the techniques used in making paper craft. It is based on the skills of the folder, and the model he or she want to make with the paper.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS FOR FOLDING TECHNIQUE

There are various material and tools used when engaging in paper craft using the paper folding technique. These include:

  1. Cardboard paper
  2. Starch
  3. Tracing paper
  4. Carbon paper
  5. Masking tape
  6. Ruler
  7. Stapler
  8. Knife

CARDBOARD PAPER: The cardboard papers are of various types and colour. Without the cardboard paper, there will be no paper craft.

STARCH: It is used in gumming together pieces of paper or cardboard paper into any desired pattern or shape. It helps in sticking folded pieces of paper together.
