Abstract:
The drive of this quasi-experimental erudition is to appraise the overall effect of accidental arty on pupils’ hypothetical (academic) attainment in textile design subjects. Participants were selected from two institutions of higher learning matriculated pupils’ subjects (batik and tie-dye) and matriculated pupils (batik), then divided into groups. The control groups were taught using orthodox methods of instructing textile design topics, while the same content was given to experimental groups using intensive (imaginative extract) accidental arty work. Pre and post-test were given to all groups. The mean score comparison revealed a significant difference in the attainment scores of experimental over the control groups. It is thus recommended that pupils be given ample opportunity to be betrothed in accidental arty instructions in the two schools (higher learning). This entails that the administration of the schools’ supplies their workshops with all devices/tools required for accidental arty work to be efficaciously implemented.
