Clothing 1101
Level of Instruction: Senior High Level I and Level II
Curriculum Overview:
Unit 1 focuses on the maintenance and implications of a wardrobe. It looks at the industry and how it creates fashion, how the retail industry markets fashion to consumers, and what consumers do with the items from an environmental perspective. Because a wardrobe impacts every aspect of our day, from work to leisure, there are many considerations that come into play.
Unit 2 develops competencies through the completion of two clothing/textile products. The process of preparing, creating, and finishing a clothing/textile product is the means by which students will develop the competencies.
Unit 3 examples NL as a place that is culturally rich in terms of clothing and textile products. Influences from indigenous groups, early and modern-day immigrants help to create a mosaic of skills and methods of making clothing/textile products.
