Description of activity
Students design, produce and evaluate a negotiated textile project from any of the focus areas. The textile item needs to demonstrate a clear link to the inspiration and reflect appropriate choice of fabrics and construction techniques. The supporting documentation should include:
- sources of inspiration
- generation of final design ideas
- samples of resources
- an appropriate care label
- experimentation and justification of equipment and construction.
Context
Students have a prior knowledge in designing and constructing textile projects and have managed a range of design and production learning experiences to completion. Students can recognise that appropriate time and resource management skills will ensure the production of a quality textile item.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
5.1.2 justifies the selection of textile materials for specific end uses
5.3.1 analyses the influence of historical, cultural and contemporary perspectives on textile design, construction and use
5.4.1 selects and uses appropriate technology to creatively document, communicate and present design and project work
5.5.1 critically selects and creatively manipulates a range of textile materials to produce quality textile items.
5.5.2 selects appropriate techniques and uses equipment safely in the production of quality textile projects
5.6.1 evaluates textile items to determine quality in their design and construction
Criteria for assessing learning
(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- produce a quality textile item with consideration to creativity, degree of difficulty, proficiency in manufacture and time management
- select and use appropriate textile equipment, techniques and materials to construct a quality textile item
- document project work and show evidence of:
- inspiration and evaluation
- generation of final sketch
- collection and justification of resources
- appropriate care label
- experimentation with, and justification of techniques and equipment.
