Year 13 Textiles and Fashion Technology
Course selection will be active from the 14th August 2020.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: R. Pedersen
Content:
The focus of this course is on innovative design, created through complex technological processes. Students who take this course are expected to be independent learners who have successfully completed Technology at a senior level. The students will be creating a minimum of two projects, first a skills based one, followed by a design focused unit. To achieve the required outcome for their client, students will be guided by the technological process which involves research, planning, time management, design, construction and a final evaluation which measures how well the solution meets the brief of the client.
First skills project - Extends and develops students' knowledge of pattern drafting. Past projects have included custom fitted ball dresses, 5 pocket designer jeans and shift dresses with design features. This is worth NCEA credits.
Second design focussed project - Starting from an experience, students explore a range of design ideas refining their concepts towards their final outcome. This is an open brief where students can create in their genre of choice.
Students are also exposed to a range of experiences as available, for example: digital printing courses at AUT, fashion week, material research trips to Auckland.
Previous TFT Students have been successful at the Bernina fashion awards and the HETTANZ awards.
