Design in Textiles Studio Practice 6
Description
Learners initiate an individual project, negotiated with staff, in which textiles is studied in relation to the contemporary field of practice within the art and design sector. Conceptually the module is rooted in the methodology of research practice and the exploration of Learners’ ideas through investigation of a selected topic. Learners develop expertise in collating, evaluating and synthesising their core ideas. Teaching and learning ethos combines past and present insights into the subject - drawing on cultural, commercial, social, personal, historical and aesthetic concerns. This module is linked to the Semester 8 Module; ‘Textile Studio-7’ where the application of this research is deployed and the Learners’ own creative concepts for textile art, artefact and/or design are realised.
