Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use techniques, materials and tools for the production of drawings. As such the unit covers general knowledge and the application of basic techniques, which would generally be nominated by the supervisor. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under supervision. It therefore differs from the units which relate to core drawing techniques for concept representation.
A selection of drawing tasks undertaken in this course will be directly applied into Design units.
Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
This course is delivered concurrently with
VART 5905C Use of colour in textiles and
VART 5903CTextile design influences.
VART5904C Assist in the development of textile designs
Projects and assessment tasks have been designed to directly link to each of these competencies.
It is recommended that students ensure that enrollment in each of these courses occurs during the same teaching period.
