Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms T. Williams.

Recommended Prior Learning

Design and Textiles Technology 21F would be an advantage, but not essential.


Do you see yourself as a fashion guru ?

Students will begin the year by generating design ideas for garment design, drawing inspiration from various sources including historical fashion trends, cultural influences, contemporary art, nature and technology. They will then develop their ideas through testing, trialing and prototyping. The last step in the design process is to implement complex procedures to create a garment. Students do not need to have completed 12TXT Design and Textiles Technology however students must have prior knowledge of textiles and an ability to sew competently.


Future Possibilities
This course aims to provide a grounding in important skills and knowledge that will prepare students for future tertiary education in Design and Textiles at providers such as Ara or University.

If a student achieves 14 Level 3 credits in this course it will be counted as an approved subject for University Entrance.
