In Year 7 students will experience an 8-week Textile Design project on rotation.
Students will learn:
• How to use moodboards to inform their own ideas.
• How to research and analyse the work of artists to inform their own ideas.
• How to experiment with pattern creation and printing and dying techniques.
• How to create a detailed, creative and original safari repeat pattern print for a tote bag.
Students learn about different types of patterns, dying techniques and how to design original prints to create a tote bag design based on the theme of Safari, informed by their Artist research and moodboards. Students will be assessed on each of the main assessment objectives covered across the project (research, design skills, final outcome) and their application of the key skills taught.
The development of knowledge and skills across the year 7 curriculum gives our students a great basis for creating dynamic and successful textile 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.
