fourth panel meeting

Mrs. Narayanan

-Tell children to choose another song and visualize it- get them to familiarize with design process and design thinking
-there is a difference when you are going to Swati’s class and I am going to Swati’s class and I will become textile designer, you are making these children designers or to be designers. Now they say we are going to Sadhvi’s workshop, let them say it’s for “us” “we are going for us.”
-Let them find value for themselves in it
-its its time to do hopes and fears for them, tell them to locate fear and it will be a feedback for you to plan more, designers need feedback constantly
-build the tool-kit in the process, tell children to make their books, write their reflections, their hopes, fears etc. and I should mention the point that Prayas said in Alisha’s review as well, DON’T THINK THAT YOUR PROJECT ENDS WITH THE END OF THIS PROJECTS SUBMISSION DATE.
-I don’t think you should include story in tool-kit book-its an artistic impression, it may get muddled up with tool-kit book, you may get jacked in jury-they may tell you to show level one and two of the tool kit book, you are working at level three now. If someone like sharda wants to use this tool-kit book she should be able to find value in it easily.
-could you take some graphic sense in embroidery because I think boys would want to wear something more graphic? And graphics asks for a lot of simplicity, that is another level of working.
-have you showed them some work by artists who have worked with contemporary embroidery?

Swati

-look at different aspects for tool-kit book for children as well as facilitators.
-let children write what they struggle with, their reflections etc.
-you have done iterations for the form of the book now make iterations of tool-kit book-rough iterations with little content then you would know which one to choose that is working-then may be you can take it to Sharda and other facilitators to give you feedback if you look at co-design, it says involve users as involving users help to improvise the product.
-you will also need to make your content crisp for the book
-I think tool-kit is your main product and garments you are achieving through the process of tool-kit book so focus on tool-kit book as well
