Abstract: The paper examined the improvisation of three-dimensional instructional model to enhance the learning process in Fine Arts. It reviews the concept of improvisation and possible goals of improvisation in teaching and learning processes. Furthermore, it looks into the reason for 3-D instructional materials and the two categories of media, primarily three dimensional, models and puppets and other kinds of three dimensional instructional models such as Dioramas, mock-ups, Television, Radio, Computer, Overhead projectors etc. the study went ahead to explain the importance of three dimensional instructional model in teaching and learning fine arts, such as arousal of interest, retention of knowledge and power, saves time and Improvement of quality of instruction. Also, the source of this paper was secondary source such as, journals, articles, books and internet browsing. The study concluded that Fine Art teachers should adopt the use of improvisation to complement the standard materials in the teaching of Fine Art; Learners should be engaged in the process of improvising instructional materials; Students should be encouraged with the help of the teacher to assembly locally made materials resources which should be used in the teaching of Fine Art. This will help to reduce the abstract nature of the subject as some of the suggestions given in this paper.

I. INTRODUCTION

As a Fine Arts teacher, you need not to rely on factory made or foreign instructional materials/models for your instruction. Almost, all works of Fine Art are based on practical, and there is no way to teach a practical work without using instructional media. As a result of this, the teacher should look for a way of improvising his own three- dimensional instructional models using locally available materials around him to aid his teaching. This brings about the improvisation of three-dimensional instructional model to enhance learning process in Fine Art. Improvisation is the use of alternative of materials that cannot be reach or unaffordable to aid the learning process.
