TEXTILES AND DESIGN
Board Developed Course (ATAR) - 2 Units - Major work requirement
Textiles and Design will see you studying the design and construction of textile items, the structure of fibre and yarns, the textile industry, the history and culture of fashion, and a contemporary designer.
Practical experiences are integrated through the course covering project work, fashion drawing techniques and experimental tasks.
For the Year 12 course, students will be required to develop a Major Textile Project which is focused on an area of interest. This has two components: the textile item(s) produced and the supporting documentation detailing design inspiration, visual design development, manufacturing specification and investigation, experimentation and evaluation.
The Major Textiles Project forms part of both the school’s assessment and is marked by external examiners to make up 50% of the HSC external examination mark.
Further information is available on the NESA website.
If a student qualifies, the Textiles and Design Life Skills Course is available in mainstream classes. More information on Life Skills courses can be found here.
