11 Textiles & Design
11TEX Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms V. Lynskey.
Over the course of the Year students will continue building on the skills and knowledge they have developed in Year 10 with: Fashion illustration and communication, fabric manipulation and textiles design using print and applied design techniques, pattern adaptations and constructions skills to manufacture own designs, further knowledge in sustainability and contemporary trends in fashion and apparel in a local and global context.
Course Overview
Term 1
1. Deconstruct to Reconstruct: Students will be building a 'samples portfolio' which will form the basis for the cutting and construction skills they will need to apply for the rest of the year in their design projects
2. Pattern Making 101: This will form the building block for students to be able to understand and independently follow a commercial pattern which they will then be able to apply to the big project Next In Fashion in Term 2. They will make a simple garment such as a pair of PJs using the provided template.
Term 2
Next In Fashion: This is the big project for Year 11 Textiles. Students will produce a small collection of designs from which they will manufacture one garment to be modelled at a fashion show/exhibition at EGGS in Term 4. Details will be confirmed closer to the time. This project will be assessed against NCEA AS 1.1. A portfolio will support their practical work.
Term 3
Continuing with 'Next In Fashion':
Term 4
'Accessorize to Maximize': This project speaks for it self! Students will design and produce an accessory to 'maximise' their design produced for their Next In Fashion project. This could be any item designed from a soft material (small components may also include non textile materials) that enhances their garment for the previous project. Jewellery, bucket hats, scrunchies, clutch bag etc
