ABSTRACT
This project report has been systematically organized to facilitate learning and build life skills, and varied activities are incorporated to make the process enjoyable.

The researcher has also drawn the attention of upcoming researchers to the reawakening of the African art through realism. I hope that this text will be accessed and regarded as achieving my “ aims” at list, to some extent.
