This unit introduces design principles for the creative construction of garment related forms. It encourages an investigative approach to making through exploration of materials with consideration of the transformative possibilities of manipulation and construction processes. The relationship between materiality, form and the body underpins practical workshops and visual presentations designed to teach students visual language skills for developing creative outcomes for garment. Students are encouraged to work outside of preconceptions of garment to explore alternative possibilities for an investigation of the body, form and context.
Unit was previously coded FAS1101

In practical classes students engage in interactive and physical tasks that introduce material manipulation and construction processes. Hands-on making and problem solving is undertaken as both individual and group activities to encourage confidence to work in a large scale and undertake creative experimentation. The projects are designed to develop tacit knowledge and are supported by media and technologies to assist with both the development and documentation of design outcomes and contextual understanding. Students are required to complete set home projects to develop concepts and skills introduced in class. Practical journal work is undertaken as a means to record and reflect on the creative learning process.
