EDSE14001 - Fashion Design

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit builds on the knowledge previously gained in EDVT11022 Teaching Textile Technology and combines practical approaches and investigations into many aspects of designing with textiles. This unit offers useful tools for teachers to unleash the potential in students interested in fashion and design to demonstrate their skills and creativity. It recognises the importance of developing a balance between a theoretical and a practical approach to solving everyday living problems. This unit will cover the essential skills needed for Fashion Design, aligning with the Home Economics Syllabi, and the learning areas of Technology, Health and Physical Education.

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade).
