Course Content
|
The course is designed to develop your individual talents and creativity.
AS: Is concerned with the exploration of a theme using analysis and research to develop skills and knowledge in design, colour, stitch techniques and fashion. Contextual studies in art and design are required as a written element and will support your practical investigations.
A2: Is divided into two distinct parts, practical work and a personal study. This builds on the AS course and allows for greater personal investigation into the contextual study of Textiles through research into the work of others and concentrates on developing original artwork as a final outcome.
