In this course textile design practices are investigated, requiring students to extend their understanding of the language of textiles and their capacity to integrate knowledge, conceptual understanding and technical skills with materials, surface, form, structure and contextual issues in textile design. The design processes of research, critical analysis, problem solving and design development are undertaken to facilitate the resolution and fabrication of 2D and 3D textile designs. All projects involve conceptual development, historical and contemporary references and consideration for the application of the textile. Projects require students to consider the development of their individual design aesthetic. Through projects, the course develops an understanding of surface and print design techniques and construction processes to translate design concepts, drawings and models into textiles for apparel and interiors contexts.
