In Textiles Design 6, students develop and undertake an individual design project. Experimental studio research into the planning and manufacturing process will be informed by contemporary and/or historical precedents. Concept, research and development is progressed through critical evaluation with staff and peers. Studio theory consolidates each student's ability to articulate a contextual framework for their design practice. Students will develop, complete and exhibit a substantial body of work. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

1. Demonstrate skill in planning and execution of an independent design project
2. Develop, research and evaluate design concepts and processes through creative, critical and reflective thinking
3. Present ideas in a mode suitable for a range of audiences
4. Work independently and/or collaboratively in response to the project’s demands
5. Reflect on social and cultural issues and apply local and international perspectives to practices in the design arts
6. Comply with OH & S requirements and procedures
