Textiles

Throughout the ages, Art, Design and Textiles have played a crucial role in the cultural development of society, from architecture and fashion to the printed word.

The work of Artists and Designers is accessed and experienced by everyone on a daily basis. Artists and Designers need to work with integrity and respect for others as their work has the power to change the world, set trends and fashions, build the cities and landscapes of the future, recording history in the making through the lens of a camera, and develop new technologies and innovations. Through the pursuit of creative thinking and solutions to life’s problems, Artists and Designers will support economic growth for generations to come.

The Core Concepts

Through the formal elements, Line, Shape, Colour, Form, Texture, Pattern and Tone, students will be able to:

  • Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources.
  • Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes.
  • Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.
  • Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.
