The aim of this unit is to extend a student’s knowledge and understanding of various textile materials and construction techniques as a way of developing creativity and innovation. Students will study the components of the design process and learn to prepare projects by investigating, generating, producing, evaluating and managing tasks using a range of materials and techniques. Historical, sustainable and artistic exploration will also be an integral part of this unit, as a basis for imagination, inspiration and understanding of work materials.
