Abstract Ghana like any developing African country is predominantly a rural community with an economy supported by few industries and the traditional crafts which use some of the countries agricultural products. This paper examines the teaching of the main crafts and expresses concern about the insufficient attention given to the subject in the earlier years. The paper however, commends Governor Guggisberg's vision of Art teaching in relation to the industries of the locality, and the efforts of Herman Meyerowitz to train Art Specialists in Achimota College in the late 40s and early 50s for the teaching of this subject in the schools. Finally it recommends the re-institution of the recent abolished Art Specialists' courses in the Teacher Training Colleges, and the diversification of the B.A. (Art) courses in this University, as a measure to increase the numerical strength of Art specialists for the school of industries.
