Level 3 Textiles

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Callard.

Level 3 Textiles focuses on enhancing creativity and critical thinking in a project-based learning environment. 

It is a practical course relating to aspects of textiles, design, fashion and the design process (critical thinking).

The course encourages students not only to engage in practical projects but to push boundaries, develop skills and think innovatively.

Students will have the opportunity to develop textiles skill, pattern making, design, construction as well as create garments and textiles products. 

The course will follow all aspects of the Design Process and is designed to be flexible to allow students to follow an area of interest selecting achievement/unit standards to match.

Progress and mahi over the year will be collated in a portfolio which will be provided for each student.

                                                                                                                           



Course Overview

Term 1
This will vary over the course of the year and be determined by student selection
We work with UNIT standards over the year

We will begin our journey be revisiting the sewing machine and all things sewing!

From this we tackle a garment for a special occassion

Work will be presented for assessment in portfolio form

Term 2
This term we look at creating for a specific purpose
There is choice around this

Term 3
Our next step in this journey to create something using special fabric
Special fabric is all the stuff we never used as juniors as it was too tricky to sew!
Think stretch, slip, shiny!

The work throughout the year is fluid and we work the whole way through.

Most credits are gained towards the end of the year
