Learning Outcomes
The unit applies to the manipulation of a range of fibres, fabrics and other material used in the production of garments, accessories, interior and exterior applications, commissioned textiles, 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional objects. Evidence of competency in this skill requires a minimum of three types of manipulation.
Details of Learning Activities
This studio based course will enable students to gain an understanding of textile manipulation processes, including
surface design and construction techniques.
You will be expected to undertake practical tasks, problem solving exercises, and a variety of design briefs presented in a range of settings including individual and group projects.

Overview of Assessment
To achieve successful completion of this course students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.
Detailed course and assessment requirements and information will be made available to you first week of class. Specific details will be explained to you during scheduled classes.
Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Students will be awarded a graded assessment only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt.
Units assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date. Late submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
