25 Drawing 2.1 Unit Code: AVD20A In this unit, students build on developed skills to produce a body of work in drawing through extensive experimentation with materials, processes and ideas. Work may arise from open-ended investigation, or may be anchored in a specific design or visual art discipline. Definitions of drawing may be challenged and explored, using a wide range of skills and technologies, or highly specialised techniques. Work produced may be an end in itself, or a stage in the development of further work in other contexts or disciplines. Current understandings of drawing are discussed and evaluated as students develop and document an individual approach, and as they increasingly position their work within theoretical contexts. Materials, processes and technologies may be traditional and prescribed, improvised and innovative, or open to selection for specific purposes. Projects include defined parameters and assessment criteria, and require considered selection of mediums and methods, reference to wider practices and ideas, and interpretation of design concepts and principles. Projects may require observation and individual responses to particular objects, people, experiences or environments. In producing a body of work in drawing, students continuously review work in progress, respond to contingencies and feedback, and generate alternative solutions to the criteria in the brief. They use appropriate terms and concepts to discuss and evaluate their work, and that of other practitioners. In their work practices, students consider ethics and sustainability, and apply guidelines to maintain a safe and productive workspace on campus or on other sites.

27 Fashion Design Studio 2.1 Unit Code: AFD20A In this unit students apply knowledge and skills of fashion design to the development of an individual body of work. They research and examine contemporary trends in fashion garment and accessory design, with reference to specific websites and journals, and use the information as a point of departure for their individual design projects. Design strategies are developed and evaluated in the production of fashion design collections of womenswear and menswear, as students pursue themes and ideas through considered stages. Students integrate and extend developed skills and knowledge of design principles, textiles, patternmaking, draping, construction, research, trends forecasts and original ideas to produce fashion design projects in response to criteria in a brief. Using selected sources and focused research to support project development, they reflect on and refine initial ideas. Research may include current events and cultural experience, the history of costume and fashion, contemporary fashion practice as well as direct observation of nature and everyday life, and sources such as art, architecture and other fields of design. They visualize and process shapes, forms and details to create unique design solutions that integrate theory and practice within the parameters in the brief. Textile design and fabric sourcing are included in the design development process. Throughout the design process, students consider new possibilities, relate their designs to wider practices, and explore new frames of reference in which to position and develop their work. They review work in progress against project aims and the specifications in the brief, and re-work aspects as required, in addition to managing stages of project development and production and meeting deadlines. In producing unique garments, they also consider the development of appropriate accessories to resolve their fashion range. They use specialized equipment to construct and finish fashion projects, and apply skills in hand sewing, domestic and commercial sewing machine operation and related techniques to serve design ideas. Students apply English language skills to articulate, document, critique and present their work, as well as to analyse and resolve contingencies in the design process. They apply guidelines for health and safety, avoid hazards, co-operate in maintaining an efficient workspace, and use materials and processes responsibly and sustainably. Fashion toiles and garments, samples, research into fabrics and textile design, visual inquiry and documentation are presented for critique and feedback throughout the process and at the conclusion of the projects.
