PROJECT THESIS

Our project’s main focus is helping students find joy in the school setting. We plan to make a DIY package with instructions to build instruments and make paint. Students will learn more about building, art, science, and music during the fabrication process.

SYRIAN GRID CONTEXT:

In this specific area of Syria (Al Ruhaybah) they have very little access to crafts and other materials for making art so we had to find a way to create paint with the pigment found in Syria and also the materials to make the instuments.

EDUCATION CONTEXT:

Students will learn about building, instruments, science, and design during fabrication. Creating the paint with nearby materials like flowers can serve as a great science experiment. Building the instrument helps with creativity and woodworking skills. Painting custom designs on the instruments adds personality and design experience.

PRECEDENTS

HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE ARE SUPPORTING OUR CLIENTS LEARNING GOALS?

When we spoke with our clients, they said they wanted more "hands-on" learning

WHAT ARE THREE QUESTIONS WE WOULD LIKE OUR CLIENTS TO CONSIDER?

How are pigments made locally? How can I use the knowladge from this project to make more things? How can I personalize the things I make?

HOW ARE WE GOING ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE NEEDS OF CLIENTS?

We're making sure they have the right materials to do this project, and finding local resources

REFLECTIONS/TAKEAWAYS

While working on this project we realized how we are lucky to live in a country with many different materials and we wanted to learn how to give back.
