12 Textiles -NCEA Level 2
| Course Statement: | Textiles Design has evolved rapidly over recent years to become a varied, creative course within technology. This course develops textile skills required in conceptual design, freehand sketching, and e-textiles, the digital component of textiles. This is explored through researching and refining ideas to answer a brief, including business concepts, for the production of a final outcome. Fabric manipulation is explored, working with various fabrics, including designing and digitalising on computers and then embroidery with a specialised machine. Pattern adaptation skills are developed. All work covered forms part of the assessments throughout this course, which develop students' understanding of textile design and the process of creating a textile design portfolio. This course leads to an ‘approved subject’ for University Entrance. |
