Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Teague-Schellekens
The student focus during this course is:
· To use design ideas to produce a conceptual design for an outcome which addresses a given brief.
· To use this conceptual design and undertake developing a prototype to address the given brief.
· During the making of the prototype include basic procedure using textile products
· Develop confidence in the above processes.
Term 1
AS91058 Implement basic procedures using textiles materials to make a specified product. - For the Top Half
This includes:
Technological modelling, such as seam trialing, fabric choices, skills choices, construction flow and any problems faced during the construction process.
Brief development introduction, it's refinement and evaluating their final outcome to the specification they have itemized. Stakeholders and their feedback
Following instructions and adding additional process to included any personal changes the student would like to include.
A cultural embellishment that pertains to their individuality
They follow guided health and safety procedures. Identifying issues faced during the construction stage and problem solving to overcome these issues
Term 2
AS901044 - Undertake brief development to address a need or opportunity. This with emphasis on the Bottom Half:
AS91046 - Use design ideas to produce a conceptual design for and outcome to address a brief.
These 2 Achievement Standards will continue through to the end of the year.
Term 3
Design Briefs ( initial/refined/final) - Context Statements, specifications, Attributes,
Conceptual Designs - Design Development, Mood boards, Planning and evaluation, Final concept designs
Stakeholders and their feedback - advice, guidance, constructive criticism and suggestions to help reach their final design/brief
Mock-up / Toile - to practice new techniques for the construction of their chosen design. This helps them practice any new techniques, work through the construction process and iron out any constraint or issues they face during this time.
Begin Prototype
Term 4
Complete prototype - following their revised construction process.
