Introduction
Objectives
We have done a home visit and first pilot test in Naveed and Uzma home. Thought these two research, we understand that the multimedia art workshop has the potential to further develop. Before the workshop is truly executed, the second pilot test held on 27th October of 2019 in Artsteller studio. The multimedia art workshop is highly technical and highly refugee-oriented. During the skill jamming, refugees can share their skills and culture with locals. We would like to test the feasibility of holding the workshop with is positioning.
Our pilot test successfully matches the participants for this type of activity i.e. Academy subject. It can facilitate the practice of empathy so that parties involved understand each others’ sense of belonging to the city, especially through the story sharing by the refugees Uzma and Naveed. Through the appreciation of the client’s artistic skills and spirit, knowledge serves as the medium instead of the end of sharing. We are not aiming how beautiful the participants drew the Mughal art, but focus on how they learn, try and devote to the whole pilot test.

Preparation There are quite a lot of things that we need to prepare for this multimedia art pilot test. Apart from preparing the painting tools, we need to find and book the venue and communicate with the venue owner. We also need to contact with other stakeholders, like refugees and our participants. For planning our pilot test, we also need to discuss our expected flow of the pilot test. Material preparation In terms of the material preparation part, there are a lot of art materials that we need to prepare. Our pilot test workshop is about painting Mughal Art on the fabric and we need to prepare the special fabric color. We expected the participants can bring their own wearable objects. The 100% cotton wearable object need to have A5-A4 area to draw the patterns, an occasion they expect to be using the decorated object. As the participants are going to draw and paint the Mughal Art, which are small and detailed patterns, the soft pointed painting brushes(no.2 and 4) are necessary. Plastic paintings palettes and plastic mugs, for washing the colors on the brush, are also needed. A4/ A5 cardboard is essential as it acts as a barrier between the front and back layers of the fabric. Putting a cardboard under the fabric can make the fabric more flat and easier to paint on it.
