Details of Learning Activities
Please note: This course is clustered with VART 5911C Draw 3D Designs
In this course you will learn about and practice using the materials, techniques and tools to present textile design concepts.
Weekly learning activities are structured to provide you with the opportunity to develop design presentation skills and knowledge to clearly communicate concepts.
Activities include:
• discussion of underpinning knowledge;
• demonstration of skills and technique;
• practical application;
This course is delivered in a simulated studio /workshop environment. Assessment tasks will be set in studio sessions and the details of all submissions will be provided with the project briefs.
During studio sessions, students will receive continuous feedback on how to improve and extend their art practice.
OHS policies and procedures must be adhered to at all times. Students must wear fully covered shoes at all times. It is strongly recommended that students wear overalls or protective clothing.

Units assessed as ’not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ’competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date. Late submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Assessment Tasks
There will be 3 Assessment tasks you must successfully complete each task to be deemed competent.
Projects 2 and 3 are graded.
