Overview of Assessment
Tasks that have not been authenticated in class as the students own work will not be considered for assessment. All work must be produced within time requirements.
Regular attendance is necessary to demonstrate that you can:
- Research trends and other relevant information
- Develop concepts and story board theme
- Prepare artwork, sketches and specifications
- Interpret and analyse the designs from the range
- Construct patterns for use in garment production
- Prepare and assemble pieces for garment assembly and conduct fittings
- Complete specification, procedures and costing for range of garment
- Communicate effectively with design team and clients
- Ensure workplace health and safety policies and statutory regulations are adhered to
Assessment Tasks
Regular attendance is necessary for staff to assess your competency in all areas.
This can only be achieved by observing you completing tasks.(Jacket)
Project 1 = 40% - Task 1 - Interpret Design (20%)
Task 2 - Completed Jacket (20%)
Project 2 = 60% - Task 1 – Design Concepts (10%)
Task 2 – Pattern and Toiles (20%)
Task 3 – Final Garment and related project work(30%)
