### Record Type:: [[Claims]] ValueofCraft:: [[Health value of craft]] [[Scientific value of craft]] ### Outline As a physically engaging medium, craft helps reinforce education. Handmade posters or displays can convey important messages in a personable style. This is especially effective if the audience for this messaging can play an active role in the making of the displays. As a form of expression according to human proportions, craft can help transmit complex scientific concepts and theories. Physical models of scientific theories can make them more tangible. In the Cajal Embroidery Project, hand-stitched panels of brain neural networks were produced for public at a children's hospital. ### References %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ```dataview list summary from [[Claim - Craft is useful in messaging]] where contains(file.path,"Warp") ``` %% - [[Warp/'Fabric Fobs and Family Ties' Craft can help children and adults with complex communication needs.md|'Fabric Fobs and Family Ties' Craft can help children and adults with complex communication needs]]: Craft workshops enabled children to communicate about their lives with carers. - [[Warp/Craft as a means of communicating health messages Janakpur Women's Centre, Nepal.md|Craft as a means of communicating health messages Janakpur Women's Centre, Nepal]]: \- - [[Warp/Jeevan Shakti Mela - Festival for Lifeforce.md|Jeevan Shakti Mela - Festival for Lifeforce]]: Community artists made traditional Maithil paintings with advice on controling type 2 diabetes which were displayed at a local fun fair. - [[Warp/Mapping the Hurt.md|Mapping the Hurt]]: Mapping the Hurt is a project where residents created a tactile map of gender-based violence in Dharavi using denim and found objects.
