Description

This unit introduces students to strategies for generating creative ideas and visual information from simple starting points. Students are shown processes for applying information from 2D to 3D forms related to the body and garment. The unit aims to develop an understanding of design language and possibilities for creative garment related outcomes. Contextual investigation and documentation processes are incorporated as a basis for future fashion design and research methodologies.

Equivalent Rule

Previously coded FAS1102

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Develop a range of ideas and design possibilities through explorative drawing and manipulation processes.
  2. Apply design work to develop wearable outcomes.
  3. Identify and solve a range of problems related to applying 2D information to construct simple 3D forms with the body as context.
  4. Orally communicate decision-making processes involved in the development of the creative work.
  5. Document in written and photographic form processes undertaken in the unit.

Unit Content

  1. Visual research investigations including drawing and design processes and manipulation of existing garment.
  2. Physical manipulation of materials and construction processes.
  3. Formal and problem-solving skills in the handling of materials and construction of 3D forms.
  4. Documentation and visual research to develop and communicate creative outcomes.

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 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.

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.
