This project will develop students' k/u of 2D design processes
by using Clyde architecture as a starting point to create an
original textile design to market to a Clyde homes developer,
textile designer, a 'Lighthouse' curator, local authority personnel
(Housing Dept.) and local community for sponsorship to be selected
for exhibiting e.g. at The Lighthouse as part of a design
exhibition.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the Design process,
working to constraints (design brief, intended market etc
• Enterprise skills enhanced (CfE) - confidence in applying self to
task and achieving outcomes, effective communication and
contribution to achieve, independent learning as well as working
with others, responsibility to meet needs of others
• Develop employability skills: application of knowledge in a real
situation by being able to follow a brief, by being in competition
with others and by presenting finished product to a selected panel
(selling your product also relates to selling oneself in an
interview situation)
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4
capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Art, students will work with the visual elements:
line, shape, pattern, and colour
• Relevance of how curriculum topic on textile design is relevant
to work and life (everything that you see around has been through
the design process) and how this subject knowledge is put into
practice in a real situation
• Critical work: learners will look at William Morris and Timorous
Beasties (contemporary Glasgow based designers), learners can also
refer to the work of visual artist Glasgow based Toby Patterson in
terms of the graphic quality of his paintings of highly stylised
architecture
