Level 1 Technology - Textiles

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss H. Duncan.

This course covers an introduction to the skills required to independently follow and execute a basic sewing pattern.
Students will learn basic construction skills, pattern reading, design illustration, researching design origins and technological modelling for hand embroidery, screen printing, beadwork and quilting.
There will be the opportunity to enter design competitions toward the latter half of the year.

Beyond physical sewing skills, in this course students will investigate the following: how clothing choices are influence by identity, how we show our identity through our use of clothing, how culture influences identity and our clothing. 

Students will aim to complete one albatross stuffed toy that represents them or a friend or family member through the use and application for at least two different textile techniques to create a unique outfit/style for the albatross (think chicken run).
Once finished their albatross and book work, students are free to use their remaining time in this class to explore new techniques and make an unmarked garment of their choosing. 

Course Overview

Term 1
- Reseach into identity, the factors that influence our personal identity and how we clothing has been used as expression of identity.

- Drawing of ideas, modelling and design development.


Term 2
- Development of practical outcome.
- Book work, reports and evaluations based on final outcome.

Term 3
