This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and explore a range of textile materials and processes to develop an individual professional style. It applies to highly skilled visual artists who integrate the use of those different materials and processes explored, to realise a body of creative work. They work with a high level of independence seeking mentoring and guidance as required. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

Evidence of the ability to: - research the properties, capabilities and use of an extensive range of textile materials to inform own work practice - create a coherent body of textile work which demonstrates: - new or refined ways of working with materials through a process of experimentation - technical proficiency in the use of selected materials and processes - integration of materials and processes into own style - use of safe and sustainable work practices. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - describe intellectual property considerations relevant to producing textile works - identify useful information sources about textile materials - describe the physical properties, characteristics, capabilities and storage requirements of a wide range of materials used for textile work - describe how different materials and textile techniques combine to achieve different technical effects - explain ways to use, adapt, combine and challenge the capabilities of an extensive range of textile materials to develop an individual professional style - list suppliers for an extensive range of textile materials used in professional practice - explain the function of Safety Data Sheets - explain key safety requirements for textile work.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - equipment, tools and materials used to produce textile work - relevant information sources. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
