Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the efficacy of alternative life drawing model in the class. The students were randomly selected from Nigeria Tertiary Institutions and are sixteen years and above. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided this study. The sample consists of twenty-three students which are sampled in the two groups. Group A (control group) are made up of eleven students, while twelve students are in Group B (Experimental group). Achievement/Practical pre-test and post-test were used to generate data used for the study. The data was analyzed using mean, standard-deviation and t-test. Findings indicate that alternative life drawing class is a good substitute to life drawing class in tertiary institutions. The findings further revealed that there is no significant difference between students’ post-test achievement scores in life drawing class and alternative life drawing class. Further findings showed that alternative life drawing class gives students the opportunity to readily and cheerfully adapt to any challenges encountered during the drawing exercise. Recommendations were drawn from the findings.
