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 practice. Students will extend these into an individual 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 explorative approach. Students will also learn safe working practices and develop an understanding of relevant workplace health and safety (WHS) procedures to fulfil course requirements.

Even years will focus on development of skills and understandings relating to the basic elements of drawing and design such as line, form/shape, texture, and colour.
