This study aimed at developing the teaching aids used in Visual Art Education (VAE) classrooms. Portrait is the most difficult lesson to teach as it involves tedious processes and highly-skilled procedures (Opie, 2003). A teaching kit for teaching portrait lesson (Portrait Teaching Kit) was developed; integrating Dick and Carey Model (2005) as an alternative instructional technology in teaching portrait among teachers. This study identified VAE teachers’ perception and motivation towards Portrait Teaching Kit as a teaching aid in VAE subject. A survey research was employed. In this study, the respondents chosen were 30 experienced teachers of VAE subject from selected secondary schools in Perak, Malaysia. Based on the findings, the study showed that the implementation of Portrait Teaching Kit in VAE subject can provide new ideas and knowledge and enhance VAE teachers’ perceptions and motivation to deliver portrait lessons in the classroom. It is hoped that the Portrait Teaching Kit can facilitate portrait lessons in VAE.
