Course Description
In this course you will begin to work more independently combining the skills you have learnt with more varied methods of pattern making. You will use experimentation and originality to extend your skills and knowledge of pattern making, applying these skills to the production of a commercial range of outfits for a specified target market.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
1. Apply and creatively adapt a body of theoretical and technical knowledge and skills in fashion design and technology to your practice or future study
3. Investigate and work creatively to solve fashion design and production related problems
7. Apply initiative and judgement in planning, problem solving and decision making in your own work and working as part of a team
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:
1. Apply your theoretical knowledge to create supporting technical documentation
2. Investigate, evaluate and apply advanced pattern-making principles in an efficient and sustainable way
3. Develop pattern specifications.
4. Experiment with the principles of patternmaking and grading to solve pattern design problems
5. Grade patterns, maintaining the integrity of the design and fit of the style
6. Work independently to create patterns with complex or detailed design
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be engaged in learning that involves a range of class activities such as practical exercises, group and class discussion, group activities/projects as well as online and self-directed learning.
During this course you will extend your manual pattern making skills for more advanced or detailed styles and attain computer skills in patternmaking, grading and marker making. You will also produce a library of patterns for use in your class activities, both manually and digitally.
