An on-the-spot Work Experience item in which a child makes a decorative pattern with threads.
Thread patterns are made by stitching, winding or tying threads onto cardboard or fabric to form geometric or floral designs, as in string art.
In the Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Work Experience Fair (Pravrutthiparichayamela) it is an on-the-spot item for individual entrants, open to girls and boys at Lower Primary (classes 1-4), Upper Primary (classes 5-7), High School (classes 8-10) and Higher Secondary/VHSE (classes 11-12). Each child works alone for a fixed period at the venue, with the product then displayed for viewing at the district and state stages. Children at every level enter, with the same four-line score sheet applied throughout; judges simply expect more finish, accuracy and technical understanding from older entrants.
The child marks points, threads the pattern in order and secures the ends. Judges look at tension, accuracy and symmetry.
Every Work Experience item uses the fair’s single shared score sheet: the workload and the child’s own contribution carry 40 marks, skill and completeness 25, knowledge of raw materials and tools 20, and social utility, speciality and marketability 15. For prepare pattern using threads, that means making the whole pattern yourself earns the workload marks, even tension and symmetry show skill, knowing thread types and tools shows knowledge, and a decorative piece that sells earns the utility marks.
