Assessment Tasks

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.
