This course provides students with an opportunity to learn about design elements related to fashion and to research influential fashion designers. Students will develop a pattern and learn a range of garment construction techniques in order to develop a skirt to suit their needs. They will also research what Shelters are and develop a prototype shelter.
Students will:
- Use planning tools to develop an initial plan for the project
- Research design elements and apply the information to fashion.
- Explore existing garments and critically analyse, using design language.
- Research influential fashion designers and analyse their garments using design language.
- Develop a brief – establish a conceptual statement and specifications
- Generate conceptual design sketches (informed by research of designers) that effectively communicate the specific design features of their garments.
- Develop a pattern from skirt blocks
- Test design ideas through functional modelling by constructing a toile
- Understand the basic construction techniques used to make a garment
- Evaluate the outcome against the specifications of the brief to determine the outcome's potential fitness for purpose.
- Use planning tools to develop an initial plan for the project
- Identify a need or opportunity from the context (Shelter)
- Explore existing solutions
- Establish a conceptual statement and specifications
- Understand how materials are selected based on desired performance criteria
- Generate conceptual design sketches that effectively communicate the specific design features of their garments.
- Develop a pattern
- Test design ideas through functional modelling.
- Establish final specifications reflecting the environment the outcome will be situated
- Evaluate the outcome against the specifications of the brief to determine the outcome's potential fitness for purpose.
