Description

This unit will provide the basic technical skills and abilities essential to begin interpreting design ideas into 3D garment forms. Students participate in workshops that incorporate flat pattern making and garment construction where they learn the techniques and specifications required to generate design ideas and concepts into realised outcomes. It further develops understanding and technical abilities in flat pattern making and garment construction, which allow students to gain a critical understanding of block construction and the possibilities of producing more complex design solutions through pattern development. Technical content will be linked to self-directed research and journal work.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass FAS1201

Equivalent Rule

Unit was previously coded FAS2102

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Apply methods in flat pattern making to make sized patterns for a set of basic garments.
  2. Apply basic skills in garment construction and finishing techniques.
  3. Modify pattern making information to design, sample and construct original garments.
  4. Describe in written and oral form the way visual and designer research has informed the formal decision-making for the design and construction of original garments.
  5. Collate patterns, samples and visual research in appropriate formats for future use as technical and creative resources.

Unit Content

  1. Flat pattern making for skirt and bodice.
  2. Basic garment construction and finishing techniques for skirt and bodice.
  3. Pattern modification and construction of original garments.
  4. Self-directed visual research and journal work to inform designs and decision-making.
  5. Design drawing, resource and process folio.

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS

For more information see the Semester Timetable

Additional Learning Experience Information

In practical classes students are shown flat patternmaking, garment sewing and construction methods by the lecturer as class demonstrations followed by student participation. Technical processes are supported with instructional material, industry level textbook references and visual recording available on LMS. Once key methods have been introduced, students apply acquired skills to develop self-directed design outcomes with support and feedback from the lecturer and technician.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.

Assessment Extension

In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.

Special Consideration

Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
