Level 1 Textiles Technology
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Teague-Schellekens.
Textiles at Level One is a subject for students interested in Fashion, Design and a love of fabrics. The course provides opportunities to produce garments that reflect individuality. There is time for two design projects; one which reflects the teenage identity and the second a student led design outcome. The course is run in a specialist room using a range of machines necessary for producing textile outcomes.
The student focus during this course is:
To understand and follow a design process.
To develop an understanding for the processes of manipulation, transformation or combining to create an outcome
To use feedback (korero) to refine an outcome and inform the 'fitness for purpose' for the outcome
To gain confidence in reflecting and evaluating the application of sustainable practices in the development of materials and processing technology design
To apply sustainable practices and making relevant refinements to enhance the sustainable practices to a technology design
