Course Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to investigate and combine colour theory and design processes into two-dimensional or three-dimensional work. It involves researching theories involving colour and design processes, communicating ideas through the application of these theories and evaluating associated design work.

The unit applies to those who use design processes in visual communication situations.

Overview of Assessment

Assessment for this course is ongoing throughout the semester. Your knowledge and understanding of course content is assessed through participation in class exercises, oral/written presentations, and the application of learned skills and insights. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on CANVAS.

Assessment Tasks

This unit of competency is clustered for assessment with MSTAT4005 Analyse influences on textile design and construction

This course is assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment. To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete all the assessment to a satisfactory standard.

 

Assessment Task 1: Research to Guide Design Due Week 3

This assessment will allow students to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in design research, and locating and analysing information about textile design and construction processes 

  

Assessment Task 2: Design in Response to Research  Due Week 9

This assessment will allow students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to design in response to a design brief, using the research gathered in Assessment Task 2, as well as their own visual and trend research. Students will integrate design processes and colour theory to produce a professionally painted textile design. 

  

Assessment Task 3: Textile Design Collection  Due Week 15

This assessment will allow students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to apply the textile design process to complete a cohesive range of textile designs in response to a design brief. Students will focus on colour theory, cohesion, design processes, and incorporating feedback. 

You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.

Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period. Students are advised that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments.

Results for this course are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are:
CA: Competency Achieved
NYC: Not Yet Competent
DNS: Did not Submit for Assessment

If you have a long-term medical condition and/or disability, it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning:

Credit transfer is the recognition of previously completed formal learning (an officially accredited qualification).

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows you to demonstrate competence using the skills you have gained through experience in the workplace, voluntary work, informal or formal training or other life experiences.

Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) RCC applies only if you have previously successfully demonstrated competence in a unit of competency and now require to be reassessed to ensure that the competence is being maintained.

Please speak to your teacher if you wish to discuss applying for Credit Transfer, RPL, or RCC for the unit(s) of competency addressed in this course.
