    (Department of Fine Art, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria, 2017) Prof. Binta Ajibola SULYMAN (Mrs.); Dr. JAJI Muyideen
    Developing countries are striving in the teaching and learning process through various uses of educational media for information dissemination at all levels of education inside and outside the classroom; learners are provided with rich and stimulating experiences. Where adequate instructional materials are designed and produced, they are used directly to compliment teacher’s efforts. Education with training and skills develop the human talents, fosters the acceptance in innovation and willingness for changes. These changes can be achieved through producing and utilizing instructional materials. Two-dimensional media like flash card, photographs, drawing, and 3-dimensional object like Legos (building blocks) and models can be used to teach in schools. One example of such model is the puppet.

    (University of portharcourt, 2021) Morenike Folabalogun; Muhammad Tunde Ayinla
    Yoruba masquerade performances and assemblages as art, in movement and time is an interesting theme for discussion as a scholar of visual culture. The aim of the paper is to examine the Yoruba masquerade’s performance and assemblages in art, movement and time. The methodology explored for this research is qualitative in nature, using literary materials, internet resources, descriptive, historical, and analytical. Conceptual framework adopted is Lamp’s theory on movement and time. The theory adopted for investigation can be appropriated for this study in the sense that, Yoruba masquerades ritual performances and assemblages as art, involves putting the masquerade together to move from one arena to the other at a given time, only for the ritual performance and the movement to be repeated again at another season in time. The authors concluded by drawing attention to the fact that Yoruba Egungun (masquerade) from the perception and analysis can be regarded as a composite art piece due to their traits, assemblages and performances.

    (ASSEQEM, 2017) Prof. Binta Ajibola SULYMAN (Mrs.)
    Any devices or materials used in transferring and handing over knowledge, information, news and skills from teachers to learners or students are referred to instructional materials. Kaewpradid, 2545; Narisara Pohkam, 2550. In addition, the teaching instrument and materials refers to the use of technology to increase the teaching and learning quality and to achieve the learning objectives set by the teachers or the schools (Jarinya Nienchaleuy, 2546:1) Instructional materials can be divided into software material such as transparencies, slides movie films, cassettes and CDs; and hardware or instruments which include the overhead projector machine, slide projectors, movie projectors, tape recorders, computers and CD and DVD players (Jarinya Nienchaleuy, 2546:17-18). Principles in using the instructional instruments and materials in teaching are that they must be suitable in terms of contents and learning objective set by the teachers. The teaching materials must be accurate and suitable for the students to learn, and practice their analytical skills. They must help expose the students to sufficient experiences (Jarinya Nienchaleuy, 2546:18-19). The instructional materials must also be suitable to the school sizes and educational policy as stated by each educational area (Bergeson, 2008:2)
