Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Details of Learning Activities
In this studio based course students will -
Interpret and analyse a design brief and develop designs for woven tapestry products such as historical research samples, miniature and shaped tapestries, community tapestries and commissions specific to public or private spaces. These may have interior applications as domestic objects and wall pieces.
Designs may be developed using manual or computer aided design tools and may be conducted in individual or team related activities. The work will be conducted according to OH&S practices and in recognition of sustainable practice.

Assessment Tasks
To achieve competency in this course students will be expected to submit the following -
Technical folder- a comprehensive folder containing class notes, individual research into tapestry, and documentation of design and weaving processes.
Three final woven design products – chosen from the following categories –
1. Research and sampling of Historical tapestry techniques chosen from Coptic, Mediaeval, Classical or primitive weaving styles.
2. Design and sampling of a tapestry commission for a specific space, public or private.
3. A miniature tapestry.
4. A shaped tapestry.
5. A tapestry artwork (exhibition piece) of own design.
Twenty hours weaving on a Community tapestry constituting work integrated learning may be substituted for one of these categories.
The technical folder will count as 10 percent of the overall mark and the woven work as 90 percent. This will be a qualitative assessment of work produced, as a percentage mark cannot be attributed to individual projects that vary in scale, detail and conceptual attributes.
Students will be expected to undertake in class discussion of the medium and communicate methods and production of final work.
Assessment on OHS
Setting up of workspace with attention to OHS requirements and awareness of safety factors when working with others.
