Textiles and Design
This term the Year 11 Textiles and Design class completed their second unit of the Preliminary course ‘Properties & Performance of Textiles. The students learnt to identify fibres, yarns and fabrics and their corresponding properties. This area of study forms an important foundation for both the theory and practical concepts of the course.
The practical component for this unit required the students to construct a garment that featured two fabrics of differing properties. There was a wide variety of garments constructed by the students, where they learnt to refine their construction techniques, and the most appropriate methods to use to combine the different fabrics. The practical tasks were accompanied by supporting documentation that mirrors the requirements of the HSC major project.
The class did excellent work in both theory and practical, and are to be congratulated on their work.
