Experimental Silhouette Investigation
MODULE CODE
CREDIT VALUE
Module Aims
Aim 1
Enhance or provide an alternative route to traditional pattern cutting skills by developing an experimental and more individual approach in preparation for their final collection.
Aim 2
Develop personalised 3D outcomes through experimental methods increasing the output for innovation and cutting-edge design.
Module Content
Range and depth of material to be covered:
• Investigate creative solutions and build skills through an approach towards experimental cut and construction and innovative stand work alongside referencing both contemporary and retrospective innovative designers.
• Students will also continue to develop in-depth research methodologies in conjunction with practical studio-based sessions.
• It will be necessary to develop appropriate presentation formats when presenting and communicating final outcomes and conclusions.
• An experimental approach will be required throughout this module that will challenge students and promote unconventional results concluding in a dynamic and conceptual final outcome.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, a student will be able to:
Teaching Methods
The teaching and learning will be carried out via a number of varied strategies.
Projects will be set and studio-based sessions will be used for lectures and practical work, with progress checks on a one-to-one basis for both the practical work and presentation element.
Through a combination of self-directed research and studio based practical sessions students will be able to develop a more experimental and contemporary approach regarding pattern cutting. This will lead to an appreciation of proportion and innovative silhouette development that will enrich Final Collection design ideas.
