Textiles 4A - SDES3347

This studio based course provides the opportunity for students to pursue a self initiated work program devised in consultation with lecturers. Students are expected to develop an area of research appropriate to their emerging practice and produce a body of work that demonstrates an understanding and refinement of relevant concepts with technical ability. Students extend their understanding of the theoretical, historical and interdisciplinary nature of contemporary textiles practice. Textiles 4A integrates lectures, individual and group tutorials, studio research methodologies and the presentation of seminars by each student covering the content and context of their practice, to achieve a thorough knowledge and critical awareness of contemporary textile practice and an ability to articulate the concerns of visual art textiles.
