Details of Learning Activities

This course is clustered with VART 5770C, CUVCOR09B Select and apply drawing techniques and media to represent and communicate the concept

The learning activities include 2 individual design projects.

Class activities will include some group work on; researching  trends, setting up installations for drawing, presentation and communication activities.

Class activities will also include individual design project work;  developing initial sketches, design development, presentation techniques and visual and verbal presentations of design collections.

Time permittiing, one session will be used for an excursion to the NGV Study room to observe relevant textile techniques and applications.
