Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
This course is delivered concurrently with
- VART 5905C Use of colour in textiles and
- VART 5903CTextile design influences.
- ISYS 5657 C Produce Computer Aided Folios
Projects and assessment tasks have been designed to directly link to each of these competencies.
It is highly recommended that students ensure that enrollment in each of these courses occurs during the same teaching period.
Course Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to assist with the development of designs for textiles products. The unit applies to assisting others in the development of design concepts for textile products according to a specified brief.
Work includes research, creation or adaptation of designs and preparation of design concepts for presentation.

Visual Diary, Folder, Coloured pencils (optional) Pencils, Scissors ,Eraser, Sharp stencil cutting knife and spare blades, paint brushes, pencils.
Details will be provided in your first session
A variety of drawing, painting a other design media will be provided in studios sessions, however students are strongly encouraged to research a variety of specialist resources that will allow them to have a more individual approach to design.
Overview of Assessment
To achieve successful completion of this course students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.
Assessement tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including:
- workbook
- problem solving exersices and design briefs
- indvidual and group presentations
The students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
This unit is concurrently delivered with VART 5905C Use of Colour in Textiles and VART 5903C AnalyseTextile Design Influences.
Several assessement tasks will be assessed across these courses.
Assessment Tasks
Set tasks, design briefs and exercises will be presented in the following manner ;
Workbook - Containing a variety of technical colour and design tasks, references, analysis of design briefs, research on textile materials and process trends , record of process
Design Folio - containing design projects that address specific briefs and will contain concept boards, story boards and completed design work samples.
Individual and group presentations - that demonstrate contribution to process and team work and OH&S
