Abstract: The wheel is simple equipment that every studio potter desires. There is no complete ceramics studio or workshop without a potter‟s wheel. The potter‟s wheel is an indispensable ceramic equipment necessary in the ceramics processing. Although, observations in some established ceramic units in most of Nigerian tertiary institutions and some pottery homes today revealed the absence of some of the vital equipment for pottery making, in which the potter‟s wheel is one. This could be adduced to the high cost of procuring such equipment. Recently however, for independent reasons, most potters have taken to fabrication of local machineries and equipment, this paper therefore documents an illustrative step-by-step approach in the design and fabrication of a simple potter‟s kick wheel using the motor flywheel and other materials at a reduced cost. The fabrication was completed and the equipment was subjected to a vigorous tests using it to produce some ceramic wares, and it was found to be effective.This research will therefore serve as a call to potential potters from developing countries to attempt fabrication of equipment and tools necessary for use in ceramic studios..

Key Words: kick wheel, ceramics equipment, fabrication of equipment, flywheel, and wheel head.

Abstract: There has been much talk about "Smart‟ or "intelligent‟ cities these days. All around the world government officials, administrators and technocrats are working as a team to design an intelligent city that will provide an easy and better life to the people living there. But going through the literature it is observed that development of smart cities included latest digital technologies but with least involvement of the residents. So it seems that people are beneficiaries of these programs but are not given a chance to decide themselves what they want in their city. In our research we have tried to highlight the necessities and merits of citizen participation in development and growth of smart cities. A survey was carried out through questionnaire about citizen participation in transforming Jaipur as smart city. The key findings have been discussed. The paper also identifies few considerations that could be included in smart city programs for better involvement of citizens. The impact of residents in shaping future cities is found to be fruitful.

Abstract: A place where children are often found engaging in creative art and design is at school in the art and design classroom. However, this is a situation where children are exposed to a number of different influences that include the teacher‟s involvement and the layout of the classroom. This paper examines the effect of the classroom layout for different aspects of teacher involvement on creativity in children. The methodology involves classroom simulations in two different classroom environments, traditional and adopted, the latter designed to reduce influence on the child, and considers creativity outcomes for different aspects of teacher involvement which include instruction, engagement and evaluation. The results reveal that the adopted classroom layout has differing effects, positive and negative, on different aspects of creativity..
