Mosquitos: Final Design Drawings

The children designed a door and a window mosquito net on frames. They designed patterns and motifs to decorate the nets, to be made by the hand embroiderer Mainuddin and his colleagues. They designed a large beaded mosquito and a red frill around the frame for the window, with ‘Fight the bite’ written in the corner. Ousama designed a a starry pattern on the door, adding the words ‘Mosquitos Go Away’.

Open Gutter Cover: Final Design Drawings

The children designed the gutter cover in detail, so that mosquitos could not breed in the stagnant water, and people wouldn’t lose coins/phones down the gaps between tin lids. They designed it to be painted orange so that it was bright and visible. They also wanted cartoons to be drawn on the painted lids so that children would look after the gutter cover and play on them.

Fighting and Bad Language: Final Design Drawings

The children designed their fine box in detail, adding painted colours and hand embroidered stickers with slogans. They designed a banner that would identify the area and draw attention to the debating not fighting table.

Meeting with the craftspeople at Muktangan:

The craftspeople were invited to come to the school and spend a session with each group discussing the designs. They helped the children to develop design details further, answer questions, and give ideas as to how they might realise their ideas in a more cost effective or simple way. The children also amalgamated their designs during this session, combining their favourite parts of the groups work to create one series of objects.

Adding colour:

We wanted to specify colours to the craftspeople, so used tracing paper and masking tape to layer colours on rather than fill in the monochrome drawings. The children were very specific with their colour choices, annotating carefully as they went.

Open Gutters:

Childrens’ designs for the open gutter problem in Mariamma Nagar. Using the tin fabricator in the settlement, the children chose to use tin box lids interconnected and to weave tin strips to create a gutter cover. These are their preliminary design drawings.
