| Summary | This course introduces you to the basic technical skills necessary to design and print concepts suitable for furnishing or fashion fabric. |
| Course description |
Academic Description
The course introduces students to Printed textiles design. Through demonstrations and workshops students explore a range of techniques connected to the screen-printing process in particular. Students learn how to gather, edit and explore relevant research. Drawing is developed and students have the opportunity to carry forward personal ideas/concepts which then be developed into finished designs in the form of hand printed samples.
Outline of Content
The course teaching is typically delivered over weekly class sessions of around 3 hours each and totaling 30 hours. Alternatively, the course can be delivered more intensely or as a block if required.
Over the class sessions the course will cover:
Introduction to Printed textiles
Health and Safety
Demonstrations of processes and techniques.
Researching and developing concepts and ideas suitable for print.
Drawing and sketchbooks.
Developing visual imagery for use on screens.
Exploration of scale, line, texture and pattern
Colour exploration
Fabric exploration
Developing a personal project and final presentation.
The Learning Experience
The teaching will be based and delivered in specialist art and design studios or workshops and will typically include a range of practical exercises, introductions to techniques, processes and concepts, and set projects which lead to more focused and personal exploration. Over the course, students' progress will be monitored and supported by the tutor. Teaching will include practical demonstrations, one to one tuition, group discussions and critiques.
For work required to be undertaken after the class hours are complete, the course tutor will set students a 'directed study plan' which can be undertaken without the need for specialist workshops or access to models.
Directed study will include research into a range of suggested artists and their associated movements to engender a contextual awareness. Students are expected to demonstrate how their research has informed their work through annotated sketchbooks, a visual digital journal and practical outcomes.
The Directed Study Plan will include preparing evidence of research and practical work to form an appropriate presentation for assessment.

Summative Assessment«br /»
(Occurs at least 2 weeks after the last taught class)«br /»
Two weeks after the end of the class teaching, this course will be assessed by the submission of:«br /»
«br /»
A digital journal documenting a summary of the learning journey as evidenced in the portfolio«br /»
weighting: 20% «br /»
This will include a summary of idea development, media exploration, contextual research, critical reflection and outcomes through notes, annotation, illustration and photography.«br /»
«br /»
A portfolio of visual art/design works «br /»
weighting: 80% «br /»
This will include a selection of resolved design works, sketchbook works, preparatory studies, visual research and evidence of a contextual awareness. «br /»
«br /»
The Digital Journal and Portfolio must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class. «br /»
The combined Digital Journal and Portfolio submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted (33.3% each) and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, students must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum.«br /»
