K., & Poku, K. A. (2021). The intellectual legacy of Gold Coast Hand and Eye curriculum and art education in Ghana. International Journal of Education & the Arts, 22(6). Retrieved from http://doi.org/10.26209/ijea22n6 Abstract In 1887, the British colonial masters in the Gold Coast implemented an Arts education reform that prioritized the faithful representation of everyday objects in still-life artistic works. This was known as the Hand and Eye curriculum, an Arts education which was geared towards industrialization and functionality rather than innovation and creativity. This study assesses the educational code of 1887, the art during that period, what the legacy offers for creativity in art-making, and how IJEA Vol. 22 No. 6 - http://www.ijea.org/v22n6/ 2 colonialism impacted the Ghanaian art scene. Using a mixed-method approach and drawing on diverse data sources such as audio-visual materials, school visits, archival studies and exhibition histories, the study finds that the intellectual legacy of copying what one sees is still a significant component of the Ghanaian curriculum and educational practice today.

  • Ethno Archaeological Clues to Stone Exploitation in Ancient Dangme
    Biveridge, F./Legon Journal of the Humanities Vol. 30.2 (2019) DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ljh.v30i2.2 Ethno archaeological Clues to Stone Exploitation in Ancient Dangme-land, Greater Accra Region, Ghana Fritz Biveridge Senior Lecturer Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies University of Ghana, Legon. Email: [email protected] Submitted: March 19, 2019 / Accepted: July 2, 2019/ Published: December 30, 2019 Abstract Dangme-land is naturally replete with abundant stone resources whose exploitation facilitated the peoples’ adaptation to their environment. The objective of the researcher in this paper was to investigate for what purposes the ancient indigenous Dangme populations that occupied Sega Hill, Kpone, Shai and Prampram exploited and used stones in the remote past. It also documented the techniques and methodologies utilized by the people to exploit this resource. Data for the study were derived from ethnographic and archaeological investigations and from early European sources relating to the area. The combined evidence revealed that the people of the aforementioned settlements exploited stone for a variety of purposes, such as for the construction of agricultural terraces and protective enclosures against slavers. The ethno archaeological evidence also indicated that the four principal early vocations of the people namely; fishing, crop farming, hunting and trapping were facilitated greatly by the use of a variety of tools manufactured from stone. Keywords: Ethno archaeology, stone blocks, cultural materials, Dangme, European sources Introduction This research investigated how the indigenous populations of Sega Hill, Kpone, Prampram and Shai (Fig. 1) exploited and used stones in the remote past. Sega Hill, Kpone and Prampram are all coastal Dangme settlements located along the Gulf of Guinea in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
