WORK SCHEDULES AND TEACHER GUIDES FOR ARTS AND CULTURE
GRADES 7 – 9
INTRODUCTION Arts and Culture are an integrated part of life embracing the spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional aspects of human endeavour within society. All arts are a representation of culture. Arts and Culture consists of four disciplines – Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts. The main purpose of the learning area is to provide a general education in Arts and Culture for all learners. In the Senior Phase the organising principles encompass national, African and global concerns. The learner engages with human rights, heritage and nation-building. This Phase also lays the basis for careers in the arts and offers opportunities for the learner to focus on his or her area/s of preference. NOTE TO TEACHERS ON HOW TO USE THIS WORK SCHEDULE This Work Schedules will save you time and make your planning easier. More time can therefore be spent on planning creative, relevant and interesting assessment tasks. As a teacher using these work schedules, you should be in a position to teach this learning area with greater clarity and confidence and learners should be able to make an informed decision when selecting subjects like Dance Studies, Dramatic Arts, Design, Music, and Visual Arts in Grades 10 to 12. The purpose of the Work Schedule is:
• To ensure that teachers have a common understanding of the concepts, knowledge, skills and values to be taught
• To guide teachers on the minimum content and skills that needs to be covered – remembering to take into account the contexts of their learners; and
• To promote a common pace of teaching within the province. The content in the work schedules is carefully scaffold to avoid duplication and allow for an increased level of complexity across the phase. Also note that the work schedules are designed for 40 weeks and the content is carefully spread over a period of 10 weeks per term. The Work Schedule is accompanied by a Teacher Guide that explains the content and suggests teaching methods. The suggested activities in the Teacher Guide can be used as is or the content can be changed to suit your school or class. When planning for the year ahead the relevant page numbers from textbooks can be indicated in the right hand column of the work schedule. Ideas for formal assessment have been given. Exemplar assessment task which could be used with this work schedule will be distributed to schools in 2010/2011. This should further assist in the setting of a proper standard of assessment in WCED schools.
The Work Schedules were planned from the generic and composite Assessment Standards of each Learning Outcome. The Additional Assessment Standards were not included in the planning. If learners choose to specialise in a particular art form in the FET phase, he/she could explore the additional assessment standards of Learning Outcome 1 in Grades 8 and 9. These additional assessment standards are explored in the Senior Phase Learning Programme exemplars. It is recommended that schools offering the Arts subjects in the FET band implement the specific learning pathways in Arts and Culture in Grades 8 and 9. This is essential for the teaching of the basic skills required at the Grade 10 entry level. Special learning programmes have been designed to guide the implementation of specific learning pathways. These learning programmes are available on the Web at: http://curriculum.pgwc.gov.za/site/32/res/view/715 The WCED hopes that these work schedules and teacher guides will assist in reducing the load on teachers with regard to planning. APPRECIATION The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) wishes to thank the Senior Curriculum Planners, Curriculum Advisers and all the Teachers involved in the writing of the work schedules and teacher’ guides.

ARTS AND CULTURE GRADE 9 TEACHER’S GUIDE
TERM 1
Formal Assessment: Visual Arts and Drama Informal Assessment: All art forms
WEEK 1
TEACHING TIPS: VISUAL ARTS Hand out notes on visual arts and design elements. Revise the visual arts and design elements by using the following activities: Line drawings of observed objects (e.g. chair, school bag, desk, etc.) in the class. Line drawings of organic shapes (e.g. leaves, trees, stones, etc.) observed outside the
class. Line drawings of inorganic shapes (e.g. table, cupboard, bin, etc.) observed in the class. Line drawings of one- and two-dimensional forms in the class. Use line and marks to create two different textures observed in the class.
Line drawing
Line drawing of organic shapes Texture created with line Line drawing of inorganic shapes Line drawing of three-dimensional forms
- 2 -
MUSIC Voice, Body Percussion, Time Signature and Rhythm: Warming up the voice also involves proper breathing. A variety of scales and long notes, i.e. counting beats (pulse) of e.g. 4-, 6-, 8 counts. Let learners sing along with music (i.e. CD player). Decide on a song that clearly expresses elements such as pitch, dynamics, tempo. Pitch: high or low Tempo: slow or fast Dynamics: loud or soft DANCE Discuss what it means to trust one another and why it is an important part of dance. It is vital to build the trust between fellow dancers/ performers, because there is vulnerability involved when working so closely with one another. Trust helps to open the learner’s creativity and encourages the sharing of ideas, thoughts and feelings. Example: In partners facing one another, learners follow each other (mirror image) using slow movements. Explain to learners that when doing mirror imaging they will be doing the direct opposite to their partner, as if they were looking into a mirror and their partner being their reflection. They must keep their eyes fixed on one another. Focus should be maintained throughout, as it is easy to break into giggles. Soft music could be used to create atmosphere. DRAMA Revise and discuss the various forms of warm-up exercises (from Grade 8) and explain the importance thereof (e.g. physical warm-up, breathing, relaxation and voice warm-ups). RESOURCES:
DANCE Sufficient indoor or outdoor space CDs and CD player (optional)

WEEK 2
TEACHING TIPS: VISUAL ARTS Continue revising the visual arts and design elements by using the following activities: Do a tonal drawing of a small object (e.g. pencil case, lunchbox, etc. ) found in your
school bag by using only a pencil Do a tonal drawing of the same small object using colouring pencils, colour koki’s,
crayons or pastels
MUSIC Do warm up techniques (e.g. scales, breathing, pitch, tempo and dynamics) for voice. Add different rhythmic patterns. The teacher starts by singing a tune (to demonstrate); then learners could add their own individual tune as an answer by singing their own rhythmic pattern. Incorporate pitch, tempo, and dynamics in the rhythmic exercise. All styles of music have a pulse (beat). Explore the different styles of music to demonstrate beats. DANCE Continue trust exercises from the previous week and add giving and receiving of weight. Example: In partners, explore giving and receiving weight. The person giving the weight leans gently on the person receiving the weight. Learners must be encouraged to take care of each other. Gently transfer the weight back and forth. Combine warm-ups from grade 7 and 8 and add these to the Drama warm-up. Include rises, swings and side bends. DRAMA Ensure groups develop and conduct their own physical warm-up. EXAMPLE for a physical warm-up: Learners stand with their feet in parallel, arms relaxed at their sides. Starting with the crown of the head, learners roll down through their spines, slightly bending their knees until the chest rests on the thighs and the head is relaxed and hanging down to the floor. Pressing the heels into the floor, increasing the bend of your knees slightly, learners begin to unroll the spine by lifting up through the abdomen, waist and shoulders, until finally the head becomes upright once more and knees straighten.

Focus Unity
Balance Perspective Contrast
MUSIC Revise: Warm up voice, body with music:
o Focus on rhythm of music o Explore the beat (pulse) of different types of music (e.g. African-, Reggae-, Classical
music, etc.) o Explore the voice as an instrument (e.g. rap, singing, be-bop)
• Pitch, i.e. high and low • Dynamics, i.e. loud and soft • Body percussion allows the learner to explore with sound and rhythm • Incorporate singing (voice) with body percussion.
DANCE Continue trust exercises adding active and passive roles. Example: In partners, one partner is blindfolded (or closes their eyes) and the other leads them around the space. The leading partner must safely guide the other past the rest of the class and various obstacles. Make sure that the leading partner holds the ‘blind’ person firmly with one arm around the waist and the other arm holding their hand. Change over roles so that both partners experience being led. Let the partners discuss the experience and then share their thoughts with the class. Learners should reflect on these experiences in their journals.
DRAMA Ensure groups develop and conduct their own breathing warm-up exercises. EXAMPLE of a breathing warm-up exercise: Using the same starting position as in week 2, keeping your shoulders weighted down, breathe in to the count of four, hold for four and exhale counting to four slowly. Repeat, breathing in for four, hold for four and then count orally to five. Repeat extending the oral counting to 6, 8, and 10.

WEEK 4
TEACHING TIPS:
VISUAL ARTS Continue introducing visual arts and design principles by showing learners various examples of art works, craft and design products. In your discussion, refer to the following: Volume Rhythm/Repetition Movement Proportion/Relation
Hand out a worksheet with various examples of art works, craft and design products. Learners must apply their knowledge and understanding of all visual arts and design principles by identifying the principles in all the examples. Hand out notes on visual arts and design principles. Volume Rhythm/Repetition
- 7 -
Movement Proportion/Relation MUSIC Voice, Body Percussion, Time Signature and Rhythm
• After learners have listened and explored different types (genres) of music by listening to CD’s, (focusing on how to use the voice in combination with other elements, such as pitch, dynamics and rhythm), the teacher divides the class into different groups.
• In this activity learners will have an opportunity to explore a combination of various music elements, i.e. voice, body percussion, non-melodic percussion instruments, polyrhythm, time, tempo, pitch, dynamics and improvisation.
• Encourage learners to improvise making use of new ideas and rhythms (to see what other rhythms, etc. and ideas they would come up with.) You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
• Decide on the beat, e.g. 4-, 5-, 7 beats to a bar • Each group has a particular rhythm to follow, either through clapping, clicking, chanting
(singing/ shouting/ rapping), etc. • No two groups would have the same rhythmic pattern. This activity involves a
concentration and time (counting). • Example:
Group 1: Clapping Group 2: Hitting sticks on floor Group 3: Hitting sticks, but on different times Group 4: Shouting YO!
DANCE Make sure that learners do not feel threatened or get hurt. Ensure that learners understand that they need to be respectful and not touch other learners in inappropriate ways. Example: Continue exploring counterbalances as in week 2 and develop it further. In partners experiment with ways to support each other when you are both off-balance. Experiment by using different parts of the body, not just the hands, to connect with your partner. (e.g. connect hand and foot). Note that counterbalance has been explored in Gr.7. DRAMA Ensure groups develop and conduct their own vocal warm-up.
EXAMPLE for a vocal warm-up exercise to improve breath control and resonance: Using a neutral body position, breathe in and then breathe out on ‘fff’. Continue breathing out on ‘fff’ and alternate with ‘vvv’. Repeat the process using sounds like ‘mmm’, ‘m-n-m-n’ and also sounds like ‘aahh’ etc. Tone and pitch can also be varied i.e. starting with deep, low sounds working towards higher pitched sounds.
Articulation exercises: repeat while carefully saying the sounds clearly: T D L R (repeat, increasing the tempo, while maintaining clarity of sound) Bp Gk Dt (repeat, increasing the tempo, while maintaining clarity of sound) Proper Copper Coffee Pot (repeat, increasing the tempo, while maintaining clarity of sound)

Respect for others and own art works MUSIC Voice, Body Percussion, Time Signature and Rhythm
• Continue with the activity of the previous week: • After learners have listened and explored different types (genre) of music by listening to
CD’s (focusing on how to use the voice in combination with other elements such as pitch, dynamics and rhythm), the teacher divides the class into different groups.
• In this activity learners will have an opportunity to explore a combination of various music elements, i.e. voice, body percussion, non-melodic percussion instruments, polyrhythm, time, tempo, pitch, dynamics and maybe improvisation.
• Encourage learners to improvise making use of new ideas and rhythms (to see what other rhythms and ideas they would come up with.)
• Decide on the time, e.g. 4-, 5-, 7-, etc. beats • Each group has a particular rhythm to follow, either through clapping, clicking, chanting
(singing/ shouting/ rapping), etc. • No two groups would have the same rhythmic pattern. • Example:
Group 1: Clapping Group 2: Hitting sticks on floor Group 3: Hitting sticks, but on different times Group 4: Shouting YO!

WEEK 6
TEACHING TIPS: VISUAL ARTS Create one of the following art products: Art work (e.g. painting, sculpture) Craft product (e.g. beaded basket, African mask) Design product (e.g. CD cover, jewelry)
Keep the following in mind when you create your chosen art product: Concept/theme using own ideas and experiences It must be unique, personal and expressive Plan the composition using the visual arts and design elements and principles The use of art materials, tools and techniques
MUSIC Voice, Body Percussion, Time Signature and Rhythm
Introduce the following note values, i.e. semibreves, crotchets, minims, quavers, semiquavers o Identify the ( beats of) different note values and their rests o Explore and listen to the different French rhythm names (through clapping the beats
of each note) e.g. semibreves: 4 counts/ beats: taa-aa-aa-aa, etc. Revise the names, i.e. letter names of notes on a staff in treble clef (G-clef) and bass clef (F-clef). Names on lines in treble clef: E G B D F Names in spaces in treble clef: F A C E Names on lines in bass clef: G B D F A Names in spaces in bass clef: A C E G Notes, rests and their values (Counts/ Beats):
• Use this table below to demonstrate the different types of notes, their rests, values (beats) and French rhythm names.
• French rhythm names will help learners to identify and explore the different rhythms for each note they should know.
• By using this information learners are able to write their own rhythmic patterns. • Step by step the teacher can add other elements of music, e.g. time signatures, bar
lines, double bar lines, clefs, i.e. treble-, bass clef

EXAMPLE OF A RHYTHMIC PATTERN:
How to start with a rhythmic pattern?
• You do not need a staff for this exercise. • Always start a music exercise with a CLEF, i.e. either treble- or bass clef, depending on
the teacher’s instructions. • After the CLEF you would add your time signature, e.g. 4/4 time. The top number tells
you how many beats (counts) in a bar, NOT how many notes in a bar. You need to emphasise this to learners!
• By adding bar lines and time signature you would automatically create BARS. Test learners’ listening abilities by turning the activity into a game (check list), e.g. Write a rhythmic pattern:
In treble clef With time signature in 4/4 time 4 bars long
- 12 -
Add bar lines and a double bar line at the end Double bar line indicates the end of the exercise. This is like a full stop at the end
of a sentence. Also remind learners to use different note values as in the table above.
• This is what the rhythmic pattern (exercise) could look like:

MUSIC Staff, Clefs And Letter names (Alphabet: A – G): STAFF:
• The staff consists of 5 lines and 4 spaces. • These lines and spaces are counted from the bottom up. • The staff helps musicians to identify the NAMES (i.e. letter names by using the music
alphabet, e.g. A B C D E F G) of the notes in order for them to play a specific part of a composition.
• Different types of notes are therefore placed on the staff to create a melody and/ or harmony.
BAR LINES:
CLEFS:
• Learners should have been introduced to these two clefs in grade 8: TREBLE CLEF BASS CLEF
• The treble clef is also called the G-clef • The bass clef is also called the F-clef • Either one of these clefs are placed at the beginning of the staff. • When playing the piano the treble clef means Right Hand (R.H) and the bass clef means
Left Hand (L.H) • Notes that are written in the treble clef on the staff would sound higher than the notes
written in the bass clef, i.e. the pitch (high/ low) would be different.
LETTER NAMES:
• The music alphabet starts at A and ends on G, i.e. A B C D E F G • This is the lettername of the note. (See table of notes and rests) • Here one needs the staff to determine the name of the note. • Notes can be found on a LINE or in a SPACE. • A staff consists of 5 lines and 4 spaces- counting from bottom up. • Notes on the lines in the TREBLE CLEF (R.H):E G B D F (know the rhyme to help
learners to remember these notes, i.e. Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit) • Notes in the spaces in TREBLE CLEF (R.H): F A C E (this spells the word FACE)
- 15 -
Example: Notes on lines
Use the verse ‘Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit’ to name these notes. Notes in spaces
F A C E These notes live in the spaces of the staff. They spell FACE upwards. RESOURCES: MUSIC Pencil Eraser Ruler Manuscript page VISUAL ARTS Available art materials and tools Notes on visual arts and design principles.

WEEK 2
TEACHING TIPS:
DANCE Introduce a variety of social dances (e.g. waltz, polka, Charleston, hip-hop, break dancing, Kwaito etc.) through printed and / or audio-visual materials (e.g. books, magazines, DVDs, etc.) Make sure that examples from different time periods are explored. Brainstorm what makes these dances social and identify which time periods they are from. As a homework task, each learner must choose 3 people from different age groups (e.g. one person in their 20s, another in their 40s and a third in their 60s) and interview them. The findings must be recorded in their journals. Learners should research the following:
o What were the popular dances the respondents engaged in when they were teenagers? o What music was popular at the time? o Where and when did the respondents take part in the dances? o Where did the dance originate? o What fashions / costumes were worn at the time? o Who performed these dances? (e.g. women only, men and women) o What type of interaction took place between the people who danced? o How did these dances reflect the time period / era or context?
Give learners approximately 2 weeks to complete their research.

TEACHING TIPS: VISUAL ARTS Investigation task on a local or global (international) artist. Divide the class into groups and discuss the following: Identify sources of cultural information in your community such as the following to investigate a significant artist:
• Elders • Scholars • Artist • Libraries • Museums • Heritage sites • Internet
Each group gives feedback to the rest of the class. Introduce learners to local and global artists, past and present. In groups learners select one of the following artists from the past or present.
• South African (e.g. Walter Battiss, Willie Bester, Gerard Sekoto) • African (e.g. John Muafangejo, Twins Seven-Seven) • International (e.g. Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Ron Arat)
For homework every member in the group should find information on their selected artist, using the above-mentioned sources. Learners are reminded to focus on the uniqueness of the artist’s work. Through this activity learners should also be guided to show respect for others’ and own artworks.
MUSIC Revise the difference between non-melodic and melodic percussion instruments. Show pictures of percussion instruments, i.e. non-melodic- and melodic instruments. If possible, have a few percussion instruments available in class.

WEEK 5
TEACHING TIPS: VISUAL ARTS Each learner reports back to the rest of the group members on the information gathered about their sources. Hand out and discuss with the groups the following specific information that should be researched on their selected artist: Investigate the influences and circumstances shaping the development (career) of the selected artist:
• Social • Political • Economic • Artistic
Each individual within a groups conducts research as homework MUSIC The Orchestra, Listening (Reflecting) and Moods THE ORCHESTRA:
• An orchestra is divided into 4 different groups (families/ sections)
STRING SECTION : Violins, Violas, Cellos, Harps, Double Basses and Guitars
WOODWIND SECTION : Flutes, Clarinets, Oboes, Bassoons, Saxophones, and Recorders
BRASS SECTION : Trumpets, French Horns, Trombones, Tuba
PERCUSSION SECTION : Melodic Percussion instruments- Piano, Marimba, Xylophone : Non-melodic Percussion instruments- Cymbals, Triangles, Bells, etc.
• The leader of an orchestra is called a CONDUCTOR. He leads the orchestra by
indicating with his hands, or a stick (also called the baton). He controls the TEMPO, i.e. fast or slow and DYNAMICS, i.e. loud or soft, of music for each section to play.
Here are a few more elements of music to focus on:
• TEXTURE tells you more about the harmony and density of music. • TONE COLOUR refers to the quality / sound of a note. • TIMBRE refers to the tone quality, e.g. vocal and instrumental. • STYLE refers to the historical and cultural context.
Identify how music and song expresses moods and feelings Music can be used to express different feelings and emotions, e.g. love, excitement, hate, sadness, etc. The simplest and easiest way to determine the mood or feelings is by listening to the lyrics of a song. This would tell you exactly what the song is about, but if the music is instrumental, e.g. programme music (music which tells a story) it is slightly more difficult to describe the mood of the piece.
- 23 -
Here are some clues to help us what the music is about:
• TEMPO: (how fast or slow the music is) Fast music: happy, exciting, angry, agitated… Slow music: depressing, loving, calming…
• DYNAMICS: (How loud or soft the music is)
Loud music: exciting, fun, anger, emphatic… Soft music: loving, fantasy, calming… Medium level: commentary…any emotion…
• DURATION OF NOTES: (How long or short the notes are)
Long notes: heavy, depressed, dreamy… Short notes: fun, agitated, lighthearted…
• TYPES OF INSTRUMENTS USED:
Drums, trumpets, trombones: anger, happy, frustration… Violins, flutes, harp, etc.: calming, sad, gloomy…
Play a few CD’s or DVD’s to explore how moods and feelings are expressed through music and songs. Activity:

TERM 3
Formal Assessment: Integrated arts activity Informal Assessment: Dance, Drama, Music, Visual Arts
WEEK 1
TEACHING TIPS: Please note that the focus of the first 5 weeks of this term is on marketing through Visual Arts. The focus of the subsequent weeks of this term is on developing a practical combined arts performance. MUSIC AND VISUAL ARTS Marketing In groups, discuss and find out how to market a performance by focusing on:
• Target market i.e. who is it aimed at? • Packaging i.e. types of packaging • Pricing and tickets i.e. budgets, income and expenditure • Advertising i.e. how and where will it be advertised? • Customer relations i.e. after sales service (e.g. programme for performance) • Location and booking of venue • Awareness of tourism (e.g. local and global tourism)
Give learners approximately a week to collect the above-mentioned information. Information should be brought to the class the next week. MUSIC Explore the functionality of your own made non-melodic percussion instrument. Select people responsible for various roles (e.g. conductor, manager, etc.) Make sure that all role players know and understand their specific roles.

WEEK 2
TEACHING TIPS: Marketing and Mass Media MUSIC AND VISUAL ARTS Use the information that you have collected on how to market an arts product and musical performance to inform the next step. In groups discuss sharing of responsibility for the following:
• Marketing of a performance • Distribution of tickets • Proper management of money (e.g. funds)
In groups select and design one of the following media products and consider the target group, purpose and design elements
• Advertisement • Class newsletter • Poster • T-shirt • Logo • Tickets
MUSIC Roles, Production and Performance Revise on functionality of own made non-melodic percussion instruments Select people responsible for various roles (e.g. conductor, manager, etc.) Make sure that all responsible persons are clear about their roles.
DANCE Revise and explore choreographic elements focusing on:
o Space • General, personal and negative space • Use of direction (e.g. backwards, forwards, etc.) • Levels (e.g. low, medium, high) • Shape (e.g. circles, diamonds, squares, etc.)
o Time • Tempo (e.g. slow, fast, etc.) • Accent (e.g. emphasis on a movement) • Duration i.e. how long it takes to perform a movement • Beat
o Force • Strong • Light • Sudden • Sustained
Note that in dance the 3 choreographic elements mentioned above are inseparable. Example: Working with the whole class, form a long line. A makes a shape, B fits into A’s negative space. C fits into B’s negative space and so on until the whole class is connected. Do this at increasingly faster speeds to different types of music. After this has been done a few times give the class different words which will affect how they do the movements. E.g. perform as if you are: in quicksand, in water, on hot coals, etc.

QUESTION 1: Artists and Influences Read the following passage and answer the following questions
Willie Bester was born on the 29th of February 1956 in the small farming town of Montagu two hours north of Cape Town, where he also grew up. He was the illegitimate son of a Xhosa-speaking migrant labourer from the Eastern Cape and a "Cape Coloured" mother. Because his parents were defined as a mixed race couple, Bester was classified as "Other Coloured." Bester was interested in creating artistically from an early age. As a young boy he made toys to sell to the neighbourhood children, and his inventiveness led to details in design such as wire cars with headlights made from candles and tin-can reflectors. At school, Bester's interest in painting was encouraged by one of his teachers and he won an interschool art competition. However, he could not develop his creative talent as a result of the effect Apartheid had on his family and early life.
Bester has achieved great success in the way he combines three-dimensional material from the real world with two-dimensional representations. However, he is not the first artist to represent the real world through a combination of objects found within it. Picasso and Braque invented this method in the period of Synthetic Cubism, and it has since appeared in the rubbish collages of the Dadaist Kurt Schwitters and the early Pop collections of Robert Rauschenberg. Bester was painting and creating artworks constantly, but in the Western art styles of, for example, Van Gogh. He believed that art meant depicting the natural surroundings - he did not know that a message could be created through an artwork, especially a political one. He wanted to further his art studies, since he knew from a young age that he wanted to create art, but he found that most art institutions were reserved for white people only. However, he found the Community Arts Project in Cape Town, and joined it in 1988 for a year. Here he discovered another way of art. His fellow students were expressing themselves and their feelings about Apartheid. They were very much involved in the political struggle against Apartheid, creating posters and having discussions on issues beyond the borders. These activities influenced him greatly, as he realised what he could do with his art. He started creating works on the same theme. Bester found a special personal meaning by focusing on the townships, as he had lived in the situation and had personal experiences to inform his works, and started creating works on the themes we are familiar with today. Willie Bester's main choice of subject matter is commonly the South African township scene. He lived in this setting himself as a child and young adult, and therefore has a deep, rich understanding of the hardships and joys that run coherently in these cramped settings. Bester tries to depict the other side of township life. The survivors and the positive aspects of township life are his focus: the vibrancy of colour on walls and signs, the humour, the innovative and industrious spirit, the camaraderie among kin and neighbours.

His common themes include forced removals, township life, migrant labour and the destructive impact of Apartheid on both those who stayed and those who fled, on those who resisted and those who accepted their fate. These themes are closely linked to the materials he uses to depict them. The materials themselves are very significant. Bester often includes newspaper photographs and text to illustrate a work. A major part of all Bester's works to date are the found objects he gathers from townships near his house and includes in his collages. The discarded materials are rich in symbolic meaning, and Bester creates an original iconography from the most varied and unlikely sources. He uses a motley array of objects such as machine parts, old sacking, sticks, various tin cans, sheep bones and wire netting. These objects are chosen not only for the way they convey the texture of the townships, but also for their symbolic significance which he discovers within them. 1.1 Where did Bester grow up?
