Intended Outcomes
In Year 8 students will experience an 8-week Textile Jewellery Design project on rotation.
Students will learn:
- How to use mood-boards to inform their own ideas.
- How to research and analyze the work of artists to inform their own ideas.
- How to experiment with jewels, beading and foiling techniques in order to learn how to construct a pendent or brooch.
- How to create a creative, complex and original piece of jewellery informed by both ancient and contemporary Egyptian jewellery design.
Learning Impact
The development of knowledge and skills across the year 8 curriculum heightens our students’ ability to create dynamic and successful textile and 3D projects, enhancing their confidence and ability to communicate and realise their own ideas in a range of textile media.
Student’s working at grades for Textile Design are taken from an average of the main assessment objectives covered across the project (research, design skills, final outcome) and their application of the skills taught.
Students’ achievements and progress against these main assessment objectives, will be corresponded to parents through termly data and yearly written reports.
