This course will enable students to develop technical and conceptual skills and understandings relating to a range of drawing-based processes and approaches as they relate to textile design. Students will extend these into an individual design project that may be related to product or surface design development. Students will develop skills and knowledge relating to a range of drawing and graphic image/mark-making techniques for design development through taking an experimental and exploratory approach. Students will also learn safe working practices and develop an understanding of relevant workplace health and safety (WHS) procedures to fulfill course requirements.
This course alternates over two years (even and odd years). Even years will focus on development of design skills and understandings relating to the basic elements of drawing and design such as line, form/shape, texture, and colour. Odd years will focus on the application of drawing to developing a body of textile design work and using drawing to develop ideas.
