About the Project
Creative Partnerships is the UK Government’s flagship creative learning programme, designed to develop the skills of young people across England. They support thousands of innovative long-term partnerships, between schools and creative professionals- from architects to scientists to multimedia developers and artists.

As part of one of their projects, Design Heroine, an architecture firm, worked with children in Stormont School, Hackney, East London. Through various creative execrsies, the children were asked to illustrate changes they would make to their school to make it more fun.

Walking On Water With Fish In It is a animated film illustrates a conversation between two students about one of their ideas for an underground fish tank. The conversation was first recorded on a DAT recorder and then the film was animated using paper cut-out characters from a collage created by them.

The film was used as documentation material by Design Heroine and Creative Partnerships.
