Art and Design (Textiles)

Course summary

Work is modular and enables students to explore a wide range of experiences within the medium of textiles, with one coursework project and one externally set assignment. There is a strong emphasis on observational skills and direct personal experience. Experimental work which includes; constructed and embellished textiles, dyeing, printing and fine art introduces students to a variety of techniques through which you can communicate your ideas. Projects are designed to stimulate visual awareness through pictorial research of both historical and contemporary artists. Students learn to view artists’ work within its context and recognise the work’s relevance in relationship to your own creative development. Project based work will allow you to pursue an idea from initial research and through to preparation for a final textiles or fashion piece.
