NCEA Level 1 Fashion and Design

Course Description

Fashion and Design

This course is a mixture of practical and theory components. Students will learn about technological processes associated with soft materials which will be completed over three projects. 

The first is a skills-based project, aimed at building confidence in basic construction procedures. 

In the second project, through the use of freehand sketching skills, students will generate design ideas to meet a brief using the design process. 

In the third project, students will learn basic pattern-making adaptations to reflect the final conceptual design from project 2.  

Students end the course with a Fashion Show held at the Technology Exhibition, an opportunity to exhibit their work at Te Uru Art Gallery and Lynn Mall.
