Abstract

Casting is important for the mass production of designs and therefore plays a critical role in sculpture and other forms of art. Nevertheless, the application of many new and innovative machineries and conventional materials during practical sessions in the teaching and learning of metal casting raises the cost load on students coupled with some unfriendly orthodox materials which contain harmful compounds and are detrimental to human health. The purpose of this study is to explore solid waste aluminium for metal casting in sculpture. Non-biodegradable materials with aluminium in them were collected from restaurants and pubs, gutters, landfills, funeral and party grounds, and aluminium window and frame producers in the Atwima Nwabiagya Municipality in Nkawie district. Solid waste aluminium identified were sorted, shredded, and washed to make it ready for melting and poured into a mother mould for final casting. Beverage cans with brand names such as Malt, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Adonko Next Level, Milo, and others, including waste aluminium chips, waste aluminium window frames and doors, and waste aluminium from fufu pounding machines, are part of the significant ones recognised to produce a sizable amount of molten metal for casting. This study made use of quantitative-quasi-experiment, case study and action research methods. Focus group interviews, personal observation of the solid waste aluminium materials were employed for metal casting. These materials were recycled and used by art students and teachers for teaching and learning sculpture as well as their project work. In each stage of the study, experiential learning was found to be the most effective method of problem-solving. Based on the evidence gathered in this study, the most valuable outcomes are group learning through association and cooperative problem-solving. This study has demonstrated that when students actively engage in this learning process, they learn more effectively. Plaster mould casting has been shown to be feasible in the classroom without the need for lost wax method of casting. There is no need to manufacture vents or gating systems. Identifying alternative materials by teachers and students at all levels of sculpture learning must be prioritized. With the continuing divergence in aesthetic responsiveness, creativity, and sustainable development, sculpture teachers and sculptors must turn to solid-waste aluminium as an alternative medium for teaching, learning, and producing artwork.

Abstract

Wood carving has been an integral part of many ethnic groups in Ghana and worldwide. Currently, Ghanaian wood carvers produce countless varieties of wooden sculptures for tourist trade or export. The wood carving business in Vakpo has provided employment for natives in the production of different wooden objects such as stools, umbrella tops, linguist staffs, walking sticks, human and animal figures/figurines,  and many more. Unlike any other wood carving industry, one of the major challenges facing Vakpo traditional wood carving is less recognition by art lovers due to scanty literature in the town and insufficient art enthusiasts in Ghana.  The study adopts a qualitative research design with a descriptive research method. The data was gathered through observations and interviews. The results indicate that wood carvers in Vakpo exhibit mastery in creativity, intricate cuts as well as finishing, and their quality wood carvings are by no means inferior to the wooden sculptures of other wood carvers from renowned towns such as Aburi, Ahwiaa, Foase, and others.
