Teaching Methods
This module consists of practical projects, which will build the students skills and confidence. Each project has an in-depth briefing with the requirements clearly outlined. Progress checks are constant throughout the duration of the project. Students will become familiar with methods of research and fashion awareness. During this module students will be set several projects, covering various aspects of fashion design which will be underpinned by technical inductions through garment pattern and production workshop. These projects will then be marked following their own criteria and requirements as stated in the project briefs and will include a basic level of research: creative translations: technical skills: presentation: personal development and time management skills. The first project gives students the opportunity to investigate the facilities available within the Department/University.
A range of assessment strategies will be introduced during this module including individual written and verbal feedback, group critiques and one-to-one tutorials. The importance of time management is stressed at every project deadline.
Embedded in all project briefs are the practical applications of the taught skills in the context of the real expectations of vocational skills necessary to find employment in the fashion industries. Students are required to demonstrate both an understanding and practice of these Industrial needs within their assessment submissions.
